Hebrews 1.5-14

Paul quotes a number of OT passages to show that Jesus is greater. He is greater than the angels. They were created to worship and serve. He creates and rules. Jesus is greater.

I don’t know about you, but I need to be reminded of that often in my own life. Jesus is greater. Whatever my current crisis…Jesus is greater. Whatever problem that might seem insurmountable at the time, even those caused my my own stuff…Jesus is greater. Whatever the opposition that the enemy might throw up…Jesus is greater. I hope that message is sinking in. Because Jesus is greater.

And isn’t that an amazing thought…that Jesus, the One who is greater, is both our Savior and our Redeemer. Our King. The One whose side we’re on. He is greater! The One we’re following is the One who is the greatest of all.

My prayer for us as we go out this week is that we don’t forget that. That in our day-to-days when life is overwhelming…bills piling up, deadlines looming, health concerns, family problems, relationship crises, scarcity of resources…whatever life throws at us this week, that we don’t forget that Jesus is greater.

And if you haven’t experienced that yet…if you haven’t trusted in Jesus yet, please make today the day. It’s as simple as recognizing that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. Believing that Jesus is the Savior that God promised. He lived a perfect life. He died a sacrificial death on your behalf and was raised the third day conquering both sin and death, so that by faith in Jesus you can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. You too will have the righteousness that comes from God through faith in Jesus.
