Superior

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets [in visions, dreams, and even face to face] at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He [God] has spoken to us by His Son [Jesus Christ], whom He [God] appointed Heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. The Son [Jesus Christ] is the radiance [shines] of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word. After He had provided purification [cleansing] for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty [God] in heaven. So He became as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is superior to theirs.
Hebrews 1:1-4 (NIV). 


Jesus Christ is ….

Superior to the angels
Superior to Moses
Superior to Aaron the Priest
Superior to Joshua
Superior to the Prophets

Jesus Christ is ….

Appointed Heir of all things
Through Him the universe was made
Radiance of God’s glory
Exact representation of God’s being
Sustains all things
Provides purification for our sins
Sit down at the right hand of God the Father (Majesty) in heaven. 

Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith [never stop trusting Jesus Christ] we profess. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Hebrews 4:14-16 (NIV).   

In response to all He [Jesus Christ] has done for us, let us outdo each other in being helpful and kind [and loving] to each other and in doing good. Hebrews 10:24 (TLB).
