Hebrews: Jesus is Superior to the Angels

 


STOP — Hebrews 1:5-14


Summary

The author of Hebrews provides a contrast between Jesus and the angels to demonstrate that Jesus is superior to the angels. God has declared that Jesus is His Son and to the angels God has commanded that the angels worship him. To Jesus God gave the Kingdom, but to the angels God made them servants.


Truth

Jesus is the King of the Kingdom and angels are his servants.


Observations

1. Jesus is greater than the angels because God has treated them differently. God declared that Jesus is the Son and that angels are to worship him.

2. God made the angels servants, but He made Jesus the King of the Kingdom.

3. Jesus was at the beginning and was responsible for creation. He is ruler over it.

4. Angels are servants of the Kingdom. They have the responsibility of serving God’s people in our task of working for the Kingdom.


Prayer

Thank You for Jesus. He is the creator and savior of all things and I join the angels in worshipping Him.
