Hebrews 1:3

3 The Son shows us completely what God is like. He shines with God's great glory. His nature is the same as God's nature. The Son's powerful word causes everything to continue. He himself made it possible for us to be clean from our sins. After he had done that, he returned to heaven. He went and he sat at the right side of God, who rules with all authority.

1:1Before Jesus came, God sent his prophets to speak his messages to his people, the Israelites.
1:3Jesus was much greater than any of the prophets. He did not just bring a message from God. He clearly showed God himself. He could do this because he is God's Son, not just a servant. After Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, he returned to his Father in heaven. The right side is the most important place. Jesus rules with the same power and authority as God himself.
