MIKE MAZZALONGO Jesus: Greater than the Angels - Part 1 2

Review Jesus was superior to the prophets: Pre-eminent in history Divine in nature Superior in position

Angels = Messengers Spirit beings Appear as men Created by God No sensual desire Described as having wings Intelligent/free will Present at creation

Order & Function Heavenly powers – Ps. 29:1 Holy ones – Ps. 89:5 Watchers – Deut. 4:13 Council – Ps. 89:7 Congregation (Host) – Ps. 82:1 Spirits – Heb. 1:14 Powers/Principalities/Dominions –Positive sense – Col. 1:16 –Negative sense – Eph. 6:12 Archangels – I Thess. 4:16 Angel of God/Lord – Gen. 22:11-18 Sons of God – Job 38:7

Angels Serve God As: Messengers – Gen. 19:13; Luke 1:1-ff Destroyers – Ex. 12:1-ff Ministers – Matt. 4:11; Luke 22:43 Worshippers – Ps. 103:21 Guardians – Dan. 12:1; Matt. 18:10

Many Christians in the 1 st Century were confused as to how they should relate to Jesus. Man only? God only?

Jesus and Angels …having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. (Hebrews 1:4) He is better than angels He has a better “name” (position)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 1. Hebrews 1:5a “For to which of the angels did He ever say, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"?” (Ps. 2:7)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 2. Hebrews 1:5b And again, "I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME”? (II Sam. 7:14)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 3. Hebrews 1:6 “And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, "AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM." (Ps. 97:7)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 4. Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels He says, "WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE.” (Ps. 104:4)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 5. Hebrews 1:8-9 But of the Son He says, "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM. "YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS.” (Ps. 45:6-7)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 6. Hebrews 1:10-12 And, "YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS; THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT, AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.” (Ps. 102:25-27)

7 Old Testament passages demonstrate the Messiah’s superiority to the angels: 7. Hebrews 1:13-14 But 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 render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? (Ps. 110:1)
