Christ is called “Son” of God, a title never given to an angel.
Angels are important but are still only servants under God.
Christ’s Kingdom is forever.
Christ is the Creator of the world.
Christ is given unique honor by God.
The writer of Hebrews quotes from the Old Testament repeatedly in demonstrating Christ’s greatness in comparison to the angels. This audience of first-century Jewish Christians had developed an imbalanced belief in angels and their role. Christ’s lordship is affirmed without disrespect to God’s valued angelic messengers.
