1:15 “Firstborn of all crea on”
See Ps 89:27; Heb 1:6 for “ rstborn” language.
Implica ons:

2. Jesus rules over all things (right to rule of the rstborn).
3. Jesus is heir of all things (Heb 1:2).

onal Observa ons:
1:17 “Before all things”
1:17 “By him all things consist” (Heb 1:3)
1:18 “ rstborn from the dead” (1 Cor 15:23).
1:19; 2:9 “all the fulness of the godhead bodily”
Key Issues
1. Preexistence (Crea on)
2. OT (Angel of YHWH, Messianic promises)
3. Hyposta c Union (Fully God, Fully Man)
4. Divinity (ALL Divine A ributes, Omnipresence, Omniscience on earth, Subordina on, etc.)
5. Humanity (Genuine, unfallen humanity, Incarna on, nature of the Kenosis, Virgin Birth,
perpetual humanity)
6. Nature of Jesus’ separa on from His Father (Ps 22; Mt 27:46; Mk 15:34)
Homework
Read Hebrews 1 and consider what it teaches us about Christology.
Write down an adora on of
Christ to share next week.
Adora on (true worship) is the cure for our idolatrous struggle with
sin.
