Christ is superior to:
"In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After HE had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." (Heb 1:1-3 NIV)
God used to talks through dreams, visions, baskets of fruits, burning bushes, even through a donkey (imagine a donkey talks smarter then you :D )
Now, HE do it directly through His Son!
Key word : Sat (down)
"The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean" (Heb 9:13)
This verse sounds weird, shows God with a good sense of humor
"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming-not the realities themselves. FOr this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
...those sacrifices are annual reminder of sins, because it's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins." (Heb 10:1-4)
SO, what's the purpose if it doesn't work?
It's just a reminder that we do need to come to God.
"Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifies, which can never take away sins.
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God." (Heb 10:11-12 NIV)
"Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." (Heb 10:13-14 NIV)
We are being made perfect forever and already being made holy.
Jesus gets everything done, and then He sits down. The job is done.
Heb 2 - Jesus is being made perfect.
Christ is superior to:
- The prophets (Heb 1:1-3)
- The angels (Heb 1:4-2:18)
- Moses (Heb 3:1-19)
- Joshua (Heb 4:1-13)
- Aaron and the priesthood (Heb 4:14-10:18) - since He provide a better sacrifice.
