Our Superlative Savior
Adrian Rogers
Now let's read together uh the first four verses of the book of Hebrews. And it says "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who," that is God's son, "being the brightness of his glory and the expressed image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."

And that they need to leave the shadows and come to the substance because the substance, Jesus, is so much better. Now, if there is a mean dog and that dog has a bone in its mouth or even a nice dog for that matter. And you try to take the bone from him, he might bite you.
