On yesterday, we read in Hebrews 1:1-3: that God "has spoken to us through his Son. and that " God promised everything to Jesus and that Jesus:
Created the universe.
Radiates God’s own glory
Expresses the very character of God,
Sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.
Jesus also cleansed us from our sins!
In Hebrews 1:4-14 below, we learn that Jesus is greater than the angels:
"4This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.
5 For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus:
“You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.
God also said, “I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son.”
6 And when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, God said,
“Let all of God’s angels worship him.”
7 Regarding the angels, he says,
“He sends his angels like the winds,
his servants like flames of fire.”
8 But to the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.
You rule with a scepter of justice.
9 You love justice and hate evil.
Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you,
pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”
10 He also says to the Son,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth
and made the heavens with your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain forever.
They will wear out like old clothing.
12 You will fold them up like a cloak
and discard them like old clothing.
But you are always the same;
you will live forever.”
13 And God never said to any of the angels,
“Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
until I humble your enemies,
making them a footstool under your feet.”
14 Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. (Hebrews 1:4-14,NLT)
Lord, I thank you for sending the angels to care four your people. Thank you even more for sending Jesus who is much greater than the angels because he laid the foundation of the earth and and His throne endures forever!
Because of Jesus, I have salvation! Thank you Jesus! In Your Holy Name! Amen.
