Hebrews 1-2

Julie Calio Season 58 Episode 2

In Hebrews chapter 1 & 2 we learn that Jesus is better than the prophets for the prophets were servants, but Christ is the Son. The prophet's message looked to the future to be fulfilled, and Jesus fulfilled it. The prophets were mortal, but Christ is immortal.  We also learn that Jesus is better than the angels. Jesus is the Son of God, and the angel worship the Son. The angels belong to God and were created by Him, and Jesus was the agent of creation. The Son is enthroned like god, and the angels minister to Him. Also, the angels do not help with salvation, yet the Son brings salvation. We also find that because Jesus suffered and died for us, He took upon God's wrath that belonged to us. His death also provided salvation for the seed of Abraham, not to the angels. Since we have the gift of salvation, we are to be diligent and not drift away. Believers are not to neglect so great a salvation (2:3). Those who are saved are now a part of the family of God, and Jesus is not ashamed to call us His siblings. 2:18, "For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested."
