"To the Son, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of Thy kingdom is a scepter of absolute fairness" (Hebrews 1:8)
Christ's Superiority to Created Beings and Things
Hebrews 1:4-14 informs us that Jesus Christ is a higher Being than any other created being or thing. He Himself is uncreated and the Creator of all.
His name is superior (1:4). Observe what Jesus is called in this first chapter: 1. Son of God--v. 5 twice, 2. God--v.8, 3. Lord--v. 10. Men have eagerly grasped for the backing of angels (i.e., the angel Moroni in Mormonism), but angels are simply messengers (1:7,14) and ministers who worship Jesus and from His presence go to minister to the heirs of salvation. Of course, the evil angels are not in view in this passage. The greatest evil angel, the Devil, wants to be called "god" (Matt. 4:8-11) and in fact plays "god" (2 Cor. 4:4) to the unbelieving world. But there is only One who can rightly bear the name of "God," and Jesus is that One,
His nature is superior. This follows from what has been revealed above: (1) Jesus was brought into the world from somewhere else (i.e., heaven)--1:6; (2) Beside His eternal pre-existence already set forth, is His eternal future existence--1:8; (3) He receives worship from angels--1:6; (4) He is a King with eternal authority--1:8; (5) He is perfectly fair in exercising authoritative judgment--1:8; (6) He was able to create the universe--1:10-12; (7) He is able to sit in eternity's highest seat--1:13. None of the angels have the capacity (nature) for these things. The God of all things wants to be actively the God of all your things--your personal God who is eminently fair in the exercise of His authority. "He is thy Lord, and worship thou Him" (Psalm 45:11).

Isn't Jesus my Lord, wonderful?"
