Hebrews 1:4-13

Picking up our study in Hebrews at Chapter 1, Verse 4, we find a short discussion of Jesus’ superiority to angels, with Old Testament references used to convince the letter’s Jewish recipients of that superiority. Presumably, the author found a need to make this argument due to some misconception about Jesus’ relationship with the angels that was then prevalent among the Messianic Jewish congregation(s) to whom the letter was sent.
