Which of the angles?

Hebrews 1:5, 13-14 The Context: In a letter written to Jews scattered around the Roman Empire who were questioning who Jesus Christ really was, the author describes the amazing supremacy and uniqueness of Jesus in several particulars. He begins by comparing Jesus to the angels whom the Jews bordered on worshipping. Jesus is the Son, sitting at the right hand of God, conqueror of His enemies. In contrast, angels are servants of God ministering to God’s people. The Jews (and us) should think of Jesus as much higher than angels.

God Asks Us: For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? 13 And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?* Read the context: Hebrews 1**

Ponder:
? Why does God make the comparison between Jesus and angels?
? What level of importance are angels normally given? Why?
? How significant are the various comparisons God makes?
? What are some ways we can describe the superiorities of Jesus Christ?
