“Having become as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs.”— Hebrews 1:4

Hebrews 1:4–14 reveals how the resurrected Son of God became superior to angels—and how believers now share His immortality and throne.

In this lesson, we explore why Hebrews compares Jesus to angels, what name He inherited, when God said “Today I have begotten You,” and what it means to live in God’s eternal “Today.”
