The Supremacy Of The Son

 

On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers
through the prophets.  But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son,
whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and exact representation of His nature,
upholding all things by His powerful Word.  After He had provided purification
for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.  So He became as
far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say:

"You are My Son; today I have become Your Father?" 

Or again,

"I will be His Father, and He will be My Son?" 

And again, when God brought His firstborn into the world,

He says:

"Let all God's angels worship Him."

Now, about the angels, He says:

"He makes the angels winds, and His servants flames of fire."

But about the Son He says:

"Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever,

and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

above Your companions with the oil of joy." 

And, "In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations

of the earth and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

They will perish, but You remain; they will wear out

like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; 

like a garment they will be changed;

but You remain the same,

and Your years will never end." 

Yet to which of the angels did God ever say:

"Sit at My right hand and I will make Your enemies

a footstool for Your feet?" 

Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to

serve those who will inherit salvation? 

(Colossians 1:15-23)
