LESSON 1 — The Supremacy of the Son
1. God’s Final Revelation
Hebrews contrasts partial revelation (through prophets) with complete revelation (through the Son). Jesus is not merely a messenger—He is the message.
-
God spoke in many ways before
-
Now He speaks fully and finally through Christ
This establishes the authority of Jesus over all prior revelation.
2. The Deity of Christ
Jesus is described as:
-
Heir of all things
-
Creator of the universe
-
Radiance of God’s glory
-
Exact imprint of God’s nature
These are divine attributes, affirming Christ’s full deity, not a lesser being.
3. Christ Above Angels
Angels are servants; Christ is the Son. Hebrews warns against lowering Jesus to any created level.
Theological Emphasis:
Christ is not one among many—He is supreme over all.
Application
-
Do we treat Jesus as supreme or merely inspirational?
-
How does Christ’s supremacy shape worship and obedience?
