The Dignity of Christ

In this section, the writer of Hebrews explains that Jesus Christ is far greater than the angels. Some people, especially Jewish believers, might think the law is more important because it was given by angels. The author wants to show that Jesus is not only greater than angels, but also that the message He brings—the gospel—is far greater than the law.

v. 4: The scripture says Jesus became “so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Hebrews 1:4 ^a). This means that Jesus has a much higher position and honor than the angels. The “name” He received shows His true nature and authority—He is the Son of God, not just a servant like the angels.
