Mark A. Copeland 1) This illustrates the power of His Word 2) Shall we not listen when He speaks? - cf. Lk 6:46 6. Jesus has also “by Himself purged our sins”! a. A clear reference to His death on the cross for our sins b. This speaks to His role as our Redeemer, a theme that will be prominent later in this epistle - cf. He 2:17; 9:26,28 7. Jesus has also “sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high”! a. This Jesus did when He ascended to heaven - Ep 1:20; 1 Pe 3:22 b. Sitting at the right hand of God is a place of honor, but for Jesus it is also a place from which He reigns! 1) As indicated in Ep 1:21-22; 1 Pe 3:22 2) It is true that He is waiting for the His enemies to be made His footstool (He 10: 12-13), but He is reigning until that time! - cf. 1 Co 15:25-26 3) As stated in Psa 110:1-2, from which the author to the Hebrews quotes, the c. Thus Jesus is truly “the ruler over the kings of earth” - Re 1:5; 17:14 CONCLUSION 1. The sentence does not end with verse three... a. It continues on into verse four, with a declaration of Jesus’ superiority over angels b. But that verse and the rest of the chapter we shall save for the next study 2. But what have we seen in this lesson? a. God is clearly a God who speaks, He makes His Will known to mankind! b. And now He speaks through His Son, Who is: 1) The appointed Heir of all things! 2) The Creator! 3) The brightness of God’s glory, the express image of His person! 4) Our Sustainer, Redeemer, and King! How can one turn their back on Him? Especially when the Majesty on high proclaimed at the Mount of Transfiguration: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” - Mt 17:5 Are you heeding the words of the Beloved Son, “God’s Perfect Spokesman”? - cf. Mt 28:18-20; Re 2:10 Sermons From Hebrews 8
INTRODUCTION Jesus' Superiority To Angels Hebrews 1:4-14 Mark A. Copeland 1. The subject of angels has certainly become a popular one lately... a. Bookstores are filled with books dealing with angels b. Popular TV shows and movies depict angels working in our lives (“Highway To Heaven”, “Touched By An Angel”, “The Preacher’s Wife”, “It’s A Wonderful Life”) 2. Angels were also an important part of the Jewish religion... a. Angels assisted with the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai - cf. Deu 33:2; Psa 68:17; Ac 7:53; Ga 3:19 b. They appear throughout the history of Israel, coming to Abraham, Daniel, and many others 3. Since the purpose of The Epistle To The Hebrews is to show the superiority of Christ and the New Covenant to the Law of Moses... a. It is necessary that the writer have something to say about angels b. So it is that we find the comparison of the Son to prophets followed now by a comparison to angels - He 1:4-14 4. The premise is clearly stated that the Son (Jesus) is “much better than the angels”... - He 1:4 a. The reason in a nutshell is that “He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” b. That name is “Son”, a title that only Jesus can properly wear... 1) Angels may be called “sons of God” collectively - cf. Job 1:6 2) But no angel can be called this name individually! [As evidence for the superiority of Jesus over angels, the author proceeds to offer scriptural support from the Old Testament. His first two quotations are to prove...] I. JESUS IS THE “SON” (5) A. TWO PROPHECIES REFER TO THE MESSIAH AS “SON”... 1. The first is Psa 2:7 a. A psalm depicting the enthronement of the Messiah (the Lord’s Anointed) b. In which Jehovah calls the Messiah “My Son” c. The “begetting” has reference to the resurrection of Jesus - Ac 13:33; Ro 1:4 2. The second is 2 Sam 7:14 a. This passage had immediate application to Solomon, David’s son b. But as the Messiah who would receive the throne of David was also descended from David... 1) It’s ultimate application would be to the Messiah 2) I.e., Jesus, the “son of David” - Mt 1:1; Mk 10:47; Jn 7:42 B. BUT NO ANGEL IS EVER CALLED “MY SON”... 1. Collectively they were called “sons of God”, but never individually! 2. This not only demonstrates Jesus’ superiority to angels... Sermons From Hebrews 9
