This week as we look at verses 8-14, we are continuing with the assertion that the Son is greater than the angels. Whereas 5-7 emphasized the inferiority of the angels, these verses will emphasize the superiority of the Son and will look at how this truth is supported.
Not even the angels (as great as they may be) can hold a candle to Jesus as THE Son. We will see in this week’s passage how Angels are inferior to the Son. It is believed by many that angel worship was an issue within the Roman Empire during the 1st Century, which could partly be why the writer of Hebrews addresses the matter. While such angel worship may not be a similar problem in our own time and place, we are kidding ourselves if we think that our own affections never drift toward the creation rather than its Creator. So, there are wonderful reminders that no one has the position and worth of Jesus as the one, unique Son!
These 3 opening verses set the stage for our understanding of this book as a whole. The points will appear as questions that I hope will help us understand in a general (but Biblical) sense what in the world Revelation actually is. 1. What is an apocalypse? 2. Who’s the author? 3. Who’s the audience? and 4. Is this authoritative? The answers to these questions provided by the passage will help us see ultimately that this is a message for everyday (not just the future) from King Jesus to His church, absolutely including us.
Your story is always part of God’s BIGGER story! He Knows your name and we are blessed by God!
Jesus created everything and holds everything together so we can trust Him, even in the storms of life

This week in Proverbs we are looking at wisdom personified and how the call to live wisely is cast far and wide to everyone who will listen.
