Wigglesworth begins with the character of Christ and moves toward the believer’s inheritance and shared life with Him.
From the passage to daily life
Read Hebrews 1 as a whole. The author is describing the Son first. Read Romans 5:17 next to see how Paul describes righteousness as something believers receive through Christ.
