Scripture Reading: Hebrews 1:4-7

As we reflect on the profound truths from our recent sermon, let us consider the supremacy of Christ, especially in relation to the angels. In Hebrews 1:4-7, we are reminded that Jesus is not only superior to the angels but is uniquely positioned as the Son of God, worthy of our worship and devotion.

The writer of Hebrews emphasizes that Christ’s name is more excellent than that of any angel. This assertion speaks to His divine nature and intrinsic worth. Angels, though powerful and majestic, are mere servants of God. In contrast, Jesus embodies the fullness of God’s glory. He is not a created being but the Creator Himself, the one who has always existed alongside the Father and the Holy Spirit.

This week, I invite you to reflect on the significance of worship. The angels are commanded to worship Christ, which signifies His superiority. Worship is not just a ritual; it is an acknowledgment of who God is and our place in relation to Him. C.S. Lewis described worship as respectful devotion—honoring and obeying the One who deserves our highest regard.

As you contemplate your own life, ask yourself:

  • What or who has my attention and affection?
  • Are there idols—good things that have taken precedence over my relationship with Christ?

Just as the angels are called to worship, so are we. Our focus should be on Christ, the one who created us and loves us unconditionally. When we redirect our attention to Him, we align our lives with His purpose and experience true fulfillment.

I encourage you to engage in a personal “Dayenu” exercise this week. Reflect on the blessings in your life and express gratitude for each one, acknowledging that even if God had only given you that one blessing, it would have been enough. This practice will help you recognize the goodness of God and realign your priorities.

Next Step: I will submit my life to Christ.

Embrace His love and majesty, and let your life be a testament to His glory. As you worship Him, may you find peace and purpose, knowing that Christ is indeed superior to all. Amen.
