QUICK RECAP (New here? Go back to Episodes 14 & 15 first!) The author of Hebrews is unknown but accepted as divinely inspired by the early churchWritten before the destruction of the temple in 70 ADWritten to fellow believers — addressed as brethren and belovedHebrews 1:1-5 established that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory, the exact imprint of His nature, superior to angels, and the begotten Son of God THE PASSAGE Hebrews 1:1-14 ESV "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. 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'? And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God's angels worship him.' Of the angels he says, 'He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.' But of the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.' And, 'You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.' 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'? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?" UNPACKING THE PASSAGE Verse 6 — "Let all God's angels worship him." Every time in Scripture that someone attempts to worship an angel, the angel immediately redirects that worship back to God. We see this clearly in Revelation 19:10, where John falls at an angel's feet to worship and the angel says: "You must not do that. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." Now hold that thought — because what Jesus does is the direct opposite. In Luke 19, during the triumphal entry, the people are crying out, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" The Pharisees tell Jesus to rebuke His disciples. And Jesus responds: "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out" (Luke 19:40). He doesn't reject the worship. He receives it. And that matters more than we might initially realize. God is jealous for His glory. He does not share His worship. So for God to command the angels to worship His firstborn, and for Jesus to receive that worship without redirecting it — that tells us everything we need to know about who Jesus is. A Note on Jesus Never Saying "I Am God" Jesus never explicitly says word for word "I am God" in Scripture — and a lot of people use that as an argument against His deity. But what He does is actually so much more meaningful. He uses very specific language that the Jewish people — culturally rooted in the Torah, the synagogue, and centuries of prophetic expectation — would have understood immediately as a claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God. When Jesus is in the synagogue in Nazareth and reads from Isaiah 61:1-3 — "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor..." — and then tells the congregation "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:16-21), He is making an unmistakable claim. Not the kind of claim that Roman emperors made when they called themselves gods. Something far more specific. Something that could only mean one thing to that particular people in that particular moment. And their reaction — "Is this not Joseph's son?" — tells us they understood exactly what He was saying. Verse 7 — "He makes his angels winds and his ...
