Jesus Christ is Greater than Angels

Paul taught of Christ’s greatness in the Epistle to the Hebrews.  He taught:

• Jesus is the Creator, God’s son, and is in the exact image of God.
• Jesus Christ is greater than the angels.  His name is more excellent, as well as his inheritance and calling.  The angels serve Christ.
• The words of angels are important,  but the words of Christ are even greater.
• Jesus is greater than Moses.  Moses was a faithful prophet and servant of God, but Christ was a faithful son of God.

Paul taught many truths of Jesus Christ.  In Hebrews 1 he states:

• Jesus Christ is the appointed heir of all things.
• Jesus Christ created all things.
• It’s through Christ that our sins can be purged.

Furthermore, the scriptures teach us why Christ, the Son of God, came to earth to experience mortality.  We needed a way to repent of our sins, and he made that possible through the Atonement.  He suffered every temptation, pain, and sickness we will ever experience.  Every emotion we will ever feel, he has felt it too.  Through this, we can rely on him for strength during difficult times, knowing we are never alone.  Because Christ was perfect, yet paid for our mistakes and sins, we can become perfect through him as we repent and strive to follow him.  I’m grateful for Jesus Christ and his love for each of us.
