Hebrews 1:5-2:4
In Hebrews chapter 1, verses 5 to chapter 2, verses 1-4, the author emphasizes the superiority of Jesus Christ over the angels. The passage references several Old Testament scriptures to affirm that Jesus is God's Son, worshiped by angels, and holding a unique and exalted position at God's right hand. The angels, by contrast, are described as ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. This comparison underscores the greater responsibility of believers to heed the message of salvation brought by Jesus. The author warns against neglecting this salvation, reminding readers that it was announced by the Lord, confirmed by those who heard him, and validated by God through signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
