Christ Made Better Than the Angels | Lesson 4

What does it mean that Christ has been made “so much better than the angels”? In this study from Hebrews 1:1–4, we begin examining Christ’s superiority over the angelic realm by first laying a biblical foundation for who angels are, when they were created, what they are like, and how they function within God’s purpose.

The sermon surveys passages from Hebrews, Colossians, Job, Genesis, Daniel, Matthew, and other Scriptures to consider angels as spirit beings created by Christ, organized in ranks and authority, mighty in power, yet still beneath the exalted Son. By understanding the greatness and role of angels, we are better prepared to see the surpassing glory of Jesus Christ, the resurrected God-Man seated at the Father’s right hand, above all rule, authority, and power.
