—Hebrews 1:5-14
by: Linda Harris.
The theme of Hebrews is Christ's superiority; a discussion of angels is a necessary part of that theme. The writer used Old Testament scriptures to illustrate how Christ is superior to the angels. In this, he emphasized the changeless nature of Christ and his role as Creator. These qualities match those of God, not angels. Angels were created for two purposes: to minister to the saints and to worship God. Those are qualities that we do well to emulate.
