Hebrews 1:1-5

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 1:4-6

Hebrews 1:4-6. Being made Rather being; (for the word made is not implied in the original expression, γενομενος ;) so much better Higher; than the angels As the Jews gloried exceedingly in the law of Moses, on account of its being delivered by the ministry of angels, the apostle proves, by passages from the Jewish Scriptures, that the Son is superior in nature and dignity to all the angelical hosts. How much more then may we glory in the gospel, which was given, not by the ministry... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-4

1:1-2:18 SALVATION THROUGH CHRISTGod speaks through his Son (1:1-4)Israel prepared the way, but Jesus Christ brings God’s plan of salvation to its fulfilment. In Old Testament times God spoke to people through Israelite prophets, but now he speaks more directly, for he speaks through his Son. In addition, his revelation is much clearer, for Jesus Christ is the exact expression of the divine nature. All things were created by him, are controlled by him, and one day will return to him as his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:5-14

Christ greater than angels (1:5-14)According to Jewish beliefs, angels were beings of a high order who fulfilled an important role in the giving of God’s law to Israel (Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19). The writer therefore shows from the Old Testament (which the Jews believed to be the Word of God) that Jesus Christ is greater than angels. His birth into the world as a man does not mean that he is inferior to angels. On the contrary, angels worship him, for he is God, inseparably united with his... read more

THE BOOK OF HEBREWS(Hebrews 1:1-2:18)CHRIST IS BETTER THAN ANGELS;CHRIST IS PREFERRED ABOVE ANGELS; BOTH IN PERSON AND IN OFFICEGod, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners. (Hebrews 1:1)Like the Fourth Gospel and the Book of Genesis, this epistle begins with God. There are no apologetics, no hint of argument, no implied admission of possible error, no suggestion of any doubt, but only the dramatic presentation of the grand assumption... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 1:2

Hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.The broad premise here is that the same personal God who gave the Old Testament and its derived institutions has likewise given the New Testament and its system. The same God who spoke of old through the prophets reserved a more noble means of communication for humanity in the setting up of the new covenant, seeing that he did so "in his Son." The contrast in the... read more
