!!! Hebrews 1:1-4
The prologue of Hebrews strikes briefly at various themes expanded throughout the book:
* *The definitive revelation that came in Jesus Christ*
* *The superior nature of His personal sacrifice for sin*
* *The Son’s greatness – which makes preoccupation with angels unnecessary*
!!!
The Climax of Revelation (verses 1 – 2a)
The writer of Hebrews points out at the very beginning that though God has revealed Himself /by/ /various means and in various ways /in the past[1] He now has revealed Himself in His Son – Jesus Christ.
This is the /end-times /climax of God’s revelation!
Thus, naturally we should listen most closely to it.
!!!
The Greatness of the SON (verses 2b-4)
Immediately[2] the writer begins to set forth the greatness of Jesus, God’s Son.
* *Jesus is the /HEIR OF ALL THINGS*[3]*/*
* *Jesus is the /CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE*[4]*/*
* *Jesus is the /PERFECT RELECTION OF GOD*[5]*/*
* *Jesus /SUSTAINS THE UNIVERSE BY HIS WORD*[6]*/*
* *Jesus /HAS PROVIDED PURIFICATION FOR SINS AND HAS TAKEN HIS SEAT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.*[7]*/*
In doing these things He has obviously demonstrated His pre-eminence over the angels[8].
