“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express 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;”
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word — the Greek word "apaugasma" denotes the shining forth of glory, and "charaktēr" was used for the impression left by a seal. His redemptive work (purification for sins) and cosmic supremacy (sustaining all things) collapse the false division between creation and salvation. After providing purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven, signaling the vindication of his work.
