Tune in as Pastor Josh preaches from Hebrews once again this morning:
“Why is there a whole chapter on how Jesus is better than angels?…His audience already knows that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. He is not just repeating the most basic doctrine of the church for posterity. The main point is that the message given to us by Christ, and through his apostles, the gospel, is far superior to the message which was declared by angels; namely, the OT law…”
(Unfortunately, the original audio file was corrupted and some necessary edits were made. At 10:45, the following sermon text is missing:
“One cannot become, or inherit the name, Yahweh. But the more excellent name Jesus has inherited is Son. To no angel did God ever say, “You are my Son,” but, before the fall, Adam was given dominion over the earth, to rule it for God, and called the son of God (Luke 3:38). And Israel, as a whole, was adopted by God, called his firstborn son, and commanded to rule the earth as his vice-regents (Exod 4:22).”)
