The Son radiates God\u2019s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How did God reveal himself in the past?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How has God revealed himself in Jesus?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does this passage describe Jesus?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Jesus Is Greater than the Angels<\/strong>\nHebrews 1:5-14\nFor God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus:\n<em>\u201cYou are my Son.\nToday I have become your Father.\u201d\nGod also said,\n\u201cI will be his Father,\nand he will be my Son.\u201d<\/em>\nAnd when he brought his supreme Son into the world, God said,\n<em>\u201cLet all of God\u2019s angels worship him.\u201d\nRegarding the angels, he says,\n\u201cHe sends his angels like the winds,\nhis servants like flames of fire.\u201d<\/em>\nBut to the Son he says,\n<em>\u201cYour throne, O God, endures forever and ever.\nYou rule with a scepter of justice.\nYou love justice and hate evil.\nTherefore, O God, your God has anointed you,\npouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.\u201d<\/em>\nHe also says to the Son,\n<em>\u201cIn the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth\nand made the heavens with your hands.\nThey will perish, but you remain forever.\nThey will wear out like old clothing.\nYou will fold them up like a cloak\nand discard them like old clothing.\nBut you are always the same;\nyou will live forever.\u201d<\/em>\nAnd God never said to any of the angels,\n<em>\u201cSit in the place of honor at my right hand\nuntil I humble your enemies,\nmaking them a footstool under your feet.\u201d<\/em>\nTherefore, angels are only servants\u2014spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the difference between angels and Jesus?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For each of the passages referenced here, why does the author use that particular passage to support his argument?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are angels unimportant, then?
