He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs.

God's Son Is Greater than Angels

God has never said to any of the angels, “You are my Son, because today I have become your Father!” Neither has God said to any of them, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son!”

When God brings his first-born Son into the world, he commands all of his angels to worship him.

And when God speaks about the angels, he says, “I change my angels into wind and my servants into flaming fire.”

God never said to any of the angels, “Sit at my right side until I make your enemies into a footstool for you!”

Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are going to be saved.

The message spoken by angels proved to be true, and all who disobeyed or rejected it were punished as they deserved.

The One Who Leads Us To Be Saved

We know that God did not put the future world under the power of angels.

You made us lower than the angels for a while. Yet you have crowned us with glory and honor.

What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels. Because of God's gift of undeserved grace, Jesus died for everyone. And now that Jesus has suffered and died, he is crowned with glory and honor!

Jesus clearly did not come to help angels, but he did come to help Abraham's descendants.

You have now come to Mount Zion and to the heavenly Jerusalem. This is the city of the living God, where thousands and thousands of angels have come to celebrate.

Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. By doing this, some people have welcomed angels as guests, without even knowing it.
