Nothing is more valuable than an authoritative source of information. The news media is adept at locating reliable information sources because their credibility is at stake. Unreliable sources result in loss of their reputation.
We have the utmost reliable lead on valuable information: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." (Hebrews 1:1-2)
Non-Christian religions claim to have an inside lead on truth, but Jesus alone has "cornered the market" as the only accurate communicator of God's truth. Note it well: God has no other avenue for conveying life-changing truth. There are helpful concepts and philosophies in other religions, but Jesus alone is the true purveyor of God's unchanging truth.
I sometimes wonder how clearly I grasp the resources available through Jesus Christ my Lord. The account of His earthly life - recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - make it abundantly clear that His grasp of divine truth was nothing short of revolutionary. And this same Jesus is available through the medium of Holy Spirit to instruct and clarify today as He did then. The only requirement is that you and I sit humbly at His feet, and give attention to study and reading of the word of God.
There has been great confusion for far too long as to who Jesus really is, and what His relationship is with our Creator Father. Hebrews one does much to clarify and enlighten, if studied with an open mind. He is a created being ("begotten" - v.5; "firstborn"-v.6); the highest of all God's creation. He has been "appointed heir of all thing" (1:2). He fully resembles His Father (1:3), and is destined to be the ultimate victor over all His enemies (1:13).
Many today testify that the most liberating, enlightening revelation has been to clearly see Jesus as He is so well described in Hebrews one. This has opened their eyes to see, understand, and apply Scripture as never before.
May we most clearly see Jesus for Who He truly is, and benefit from the valuable, authoritative truth that He is uniquely qualified to bring.
