Hebrews 1:1-3
(Lesson 02)

Introduction:
 

         1. The main theme of Hebrews is "the superiority of Christ."
         2. In the first section of Hebrews (ch.1-4:13), attention is given to "the superiority of Christ as God's
             spokesman."
         3. In this lesson we are studying the information presented in Hebrews 1:1-3.
         4. These verses show how "Christ is superior to the prophets."

Discussion:

I.           (vs.1) IN  THE  PAST  GOD  SPOKE  TO  THE  JEWISH  FATHERS  BY  THE  PROPHETS


         A. The prophets were inspired people (2 Peter 1:20-21).
         B. God spoke through the prophets:
             1. "at sundry times": in many parts [portions]
             2. "in divers manners": in many ways (Numbers 12:6).

II.          (vs.2a) HOWEVER,  GOD  HAS  SPOKEN:

         A. "in these last days": at the end of the Jewish age
         B. "unto us": those living under the new covenant
         C. "by His Son": Jesus Christ, "The Prophet" (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).

III.         (vs.2b-3) CHRIST  IS  SUPERIOR  TO  THE  PROPHETS  IN  THAT:

         A. He has been "appointed heir of all things"
         B. the worlds were made by Him (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17)
         C. He is the brightness of God's glory
         D. He is the express image of God's person (Colossians 1:15; John 14:6-11)
         E. He upholds all things by the word of His power
         F. He has purged our sins Himself
         G. He is seated at God's right hand.

Conclusion:

         1. In the past God intended for the Jewish fathers to listen to His Word from the prophets.
         2. However, He now intends for us to listen to His Son (Matthew 17:1-5; Colossians 3:16a).
