Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.
The letter to the Hebrews begins by pointing back to creation and God’s unfolding plan. Long ago, God spoke in many ways through the prophets, but now He has spoken by His Son (1:1–2). This is a staggering shift: the One through whom the universe was made is also the heir of all things (Ps. 2:7–8; Col. 1:16). Jesus is both the beginning and the goal of creation. He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact imprint of His nature, fully God in every way (1:3). He sustains the world by His powerful word, and after purifying sins like a priest (anticipating chs. 9–10), He sat down at God’s right hand as King, His work finished and His reign established (Ps. 110:1).
Because of who He is, Jesus is far greater than the angels. Some Jewish people during that time thought angels might deliver them from trials, even assigning them to individuals—but Hebrews makes clear that angels are servants, not saviors (1:14). The Son alone is uniquely declared God’s Son (Ps. 2:7; 2 Sam. 7:14), worshiped by angels (Deut. 32:43), enthroned with an eternal kingdom (Ps. 45:6–7), unchanging Creator of heaven and earth (Ps. 102:25–27), and exalted at God’s right hand (Ps. 110:1). Each text ties Him to the promises given to David, now fulfilled in Christ’s resurrection and exaltation as King of the universe. Angels may be glorious, but their glory flows from the Son they serve.
🌀 Reflection:
If you want to know God, look to Jesus (John 14:9). He isn’t one messenger among many—He is the final Word. He is the eternal Son who creates, reigns, and saves. Because He sat down after completing purification for sins, you can rest in His finished work and draw near with confidence (Heb. 10:19–22).
