Observation/Interpretation
- Jesus created the earth and heavens. Therefore He is greater than angels b/c they don't create things. I'd also like to point out how powerful this makes Jesus. I mean imagine all the intricate details of life and the universe. He set up all the rules of physics, chemistry, biology. And He did it in a way that was intrinsically beautiful. What an amazing God we serve.
- The current physical parts of creation will eventually break down and be destroyed (2nd law of thermodynamics), but Jesus will remain.
- Jesus is immutable. He never changes in His Godhood. He doesn't come up with new crazy ideas, He doesn't forget us. Jesus never changes, therefore He is better than angels.
- Jesus is now and will live forever. His years do not end like physical beings.
- Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father where His enemies are laid bare. He is the conqueror and enjoys the fruits of His labor. What a cool word picture by the way. To so utterly crush your enemies that they are your footstool.
- Angels after all are merely sent out to serve those who are Christians. Jesus' role was much greater than mere service alone.
Application
- I must worship Jesus. He is so powerful and awe inspiring. He never changes and yet created change in the universe. Amazing.
- I can trust in Jesus' unchangeability and therefore rest, knowing that my salvation is secure.
- I can hope in Jesus' future destruction of sin and the devil and look forward to a day when I don't have to be tempted to sin any more
- I should read more scripture and use it to teach others and improve my understanding of who God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are.
