Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-14

The Superiority of Christ to Angels Hebrews 1:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Jesus Christ was God in ages past; He was God, manifest in flesh; He is God in the ages to come. In His Deity, He is the same yesterday, today, and for ever. He was not less than God, in the humiliation of His incarnation: He is not more than God in the added glories of His exaltation. There are some who would teach that Jesus Christ, in eternities past, was no more than perfect angel; that in His earth life, He was... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:6

DIVINE WORSHIP‘Let all the angels of God worship Him.’ Hebrews 1:6 Worship, true worship, in the sense of bowing down before a present Saviour, in the sense of adoring a new-born King, this is a tribute which Christ claims from His servants above all others on the day of His birth. They are the Birthday gifts we are bound to offer Him. I. The idea of worship as the special tribute of Christmas Day seems strikingly brought out in this Epistle. How full of strange contrasts is our holy... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:5-14

The Superiority of the Son to the Angels (Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:14 ) He Is Now Contrasted With The Angels, the Heavenly Beings and Intermediaries between God and the world (Hebrews 1:5-14). Having revealed the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ as ‘the Son’, the writer now goes on to contrast Him with all heavenly beings, although already having revealed Him as superior to the angels in His being stated by God to be ‘My Son’. He does this by means of seven quotations from the Scriptures.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:6

‘And when he again brings in the firstborn into the inhabited earth he says, “And let all the angels of God worship him.” The idea of sonship (and heirship - Hebrews 1:2) continues under another title, the firstborn. ‘When He again brings in the firstborn into the inhabited earth ’. The firstborn is another title for the unique son. Israel had been His son, even His firstborn (Exodus 4:22), but had then come to be represented by the King whom they saw as ‘the breath of our nostrils, the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:5-14

Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:18 . The Son is Superior to the Angels.— For this theme the way has been prepared in the closing words of Hebrews 1:14. The section may possibly be directed against angel-worship, which in some churches, as we know from Colossians, was encroaching on the faith in Christ. More probably the writer’ s aim is simply to enforce the supremacy of Christ as compared with even the highest of created beings. In Hebrews 1:5-2 Chronicles : he collects a number of Scripture texts... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 1:6

This is a further proof of the great gospel Minister being more excellent than angels, by God’s command to them to worship him. And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world: παλιν some refer to God the Father’s speech, as: Again he saith: others think it too gross a transposition, and unusual in the Scripture, and so read it as it stands in the Greek text: He again, or a second time, bringeth, &c. This hath started a query about what time it is that the Father saith... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 1:5-14

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 1:5. Angels.—Properly, any living being carrying out the Divine will is an angel, a messenger, a servant. But the word “angel” is precisely kept for such messengers as belonged to other than the earthly sphere. The angelophanies of the Old Testament were foreshadowings of the revelation in the “Man Christ Jesus.” Said He.—The interrogation is intended to be a strong negation. Begotten Thee.—Constituted Thee; but the term is designed to indicate the different... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:3-6

Hebrews 1:3-6 Christ above the Angels. I. It is very wonderful how, in God's ways, fixed necessity and liberty go hand in hand. From all eternity Jesus is appointed the Son of David; but the development of history goes through liberty, the exercise of faith, of hope, of patience, of joy, of suffering. Everything that is human is in sweetest harmony with that unfailing and unchangeable purpose of God's love which must surely come to pass. II. Humanity in the person of Messiah is exalted far... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:6

Hebrews 1:6 Christ worshipped by Angels. I. The first thing which the text teaches is that Christ is a proper object of Divine worship. II. The text suggests another point that the incarnation of our ever-blessed Lord affords a special call upon all in earth and heaven to ascribe unto Him the honour which is due unto His name. J. N.

DISCOURSE: 2269CHRIST’S INCARNATIONHebrews 1:6. When he bringeth in the First-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.IF God had been pleased to try our faith, he might have required us to believe whatsoever he should reveal, even though he should mention it but once: but, in condescension to our weakness, he has given us a great variety of testimonies to confirm every fundamental doctrine of our holy religion. The doctrine of the divinity of Christ is as... read more
