Hebrews 1:4-14
(Lesson 03)

Introduction:
 

         1. The main theme of Hebrews is "the superiority of Christ."
         2. In the first section of Hebrews (1:1-4:13), attention is given to "the superiority of Christ as God's
             spokesman."
         3. As God's spokesman Christ is superior to the prophets (1:1-3).
         4. In this lesson we are studying the information presented in Hebrews 1:4-14.
         5. These verses show how "Christ is superior to the angels."
         6. Let us first consider several . . .

Discussion:

I.           GENERAL  MATTERS  PERTAINING  TO  ANGELS

         A. Angels are spiritual beings created by God (Psalm 148:1-5).
         B. Angels were created to do God's will (Psalm 103:20-21).
         C. Angels have primarily served as "messengers" (Genesis 19:15; Judges 13:2-5).

II.          (Hebrews 1:4-14) CHRIST  IS  SUPERIOR  TO  THE  ANGELS  IN  THAT:

         A. He was "made so much better than the angels" (vs.4a)
         B. He has "by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they" (vs.4b; Philippians 2:9-11)
         C. He is God's Son (vs.5; Psalm 2:7)
         D. He was worshipped by angels (vs.6; Luke 2:8-15)
         E. angels are ministers (vs.7; Psalm 104:4)
         F. He is an eternal King (vs.8; Psalm 45:6)
         G. He has been anointed above the angels (vs.9; Psalm 45:7; 1 Peter 3:21-22)
         H. He is the eternal Creator of all things (vs.10-12; John 1:1-3)
         I. He sits at the Father's right hand while angels are ministering spirits (vs.13-14; Psalm 110:1).

Conclusion:

         1. In the past God intended for men to listen to messages that He sent through angels.
         2. However, He now intends for us to listen to His Son.
