Better than the Angels

Last time we listened with amazement and wonder as we heard the writer of Hebrews tell us what a wonderful Savior is Jesus our Jesus. [1] He taught us about the diversity and unity of God’s revelation, and that the culmination of the revelation is the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son. Then in hopes of overwhelming us with the evidence, he presented us with many trees so that we would see the forest of who the Son is. [2] He taught us that the Son is the Heir of all things. All things were created for His pleasure. [3] Next we learned that the Son is the Creator of all things (even the unseen reality—the angels). [4] We discovered that the Son is, always has been, and always will be “the brightness of the Father’s glory and the express image of His person.” [5] The Son “upholds all things by the word of His power.” He holds all creation together by the power of His will. [6] Finally, the Son has seated Himself at the right hand of God the Father after He Himself purged our sins.
