Title: Greater Than Angels (4 of 66)
Author: Mike Stone
Text: Hebrews 1:5-14
From the series: The Supremacy of Christ
A Study of the Book of Hebrews
We could talk about the INFATUATION with angels. Back when Christian bookstores had brick and mortar stores, you could hardly by a Bible with tripping over an angel. Angel figurines and pictures, Angel books, and Angel soap-on-a-rope.
There are TV shows like, "Touched by an Angel" and Michael Landon's "Highway to Heaven."
Paul even warned the Galatians to not believe a false gospel even if it were taught by an angel. Let's face it, if an angel appeared with a message, it would be easy to be misled.
Al Mohler comments here that, "Through the author of Hebrews, the Holy Spirit is providing His own inerrant, infallible commentary on the Old Testament. We are learning from the author of Hebrews himself the importance of reading Scripture in the light of the rest of Scripture."
As we saw in lesson 1, everything we KNOW that God has said is said in His Word and through His Son. Before we dissect the text, I want you to notice how the Bible makes this argument. He does so with 7 quotations from the OT.
Not with emotion but with exposition.
Not with personal feelings but with Biblical facts.
So, we could talk about the INFATUATION with angels. We could also talk about the INACCURACIES about angels. Some of the most bizarre doctrines that I hear, from otherwise sound believers, is related to angels. Let me suffice to say:
People do not become angels when they die.
Your grandmother did not become an angel.
No infant ever became an "angel baby."
Dead people do not become members of the "angel choir."
But this text focuses on the INFERIORITY of angels as compared to the Lord Jesus, who alone is Supreme. It's almost understandable that first-century believers has angels on a spiritual pedestal. Angels have been a major part of redemptive history, from Genesis to Revelation.
