The Majesty of Christ |
Hebrews is perhaps the greatest Christological book in the Bible, giving us a detailed description of the attributes and accomplishments of Jesus Christ. The following chart is a summary. Christ is … This means … heir of all things (1:2) As God’s “firstborn” Son, Christ will inherit infinite glory and honor. the One through whom God made the worlds (1:2) Christ was the Agent who created the universe. the brightness of God’s glory (1:3) Christ reflects the majesty of God. the express image of His person (1:3) Christ is God made visible, in the flesh. upholding all things by the word of His power (1:3) Christ holds the universe together (Col. 1:17). seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high (1:3) Christ is reigning and ruling with God the Father as Lord over all. better than the angels (1:4) Christ is to be exalted more than the angels, no matter how glorious and awe-inspiring they are. captain of our salvation (2:10) Christ is the founder of the effort to “bring many sons to glory” (5:9). the destroyer …of …the devil (2:14) In dying for our sins, Christ overcame our greatest enemies—death and the devil. a merciful and faithful High Priest (2:17) Christ brought the ultimate sacrifice before God—His own blood—so that we might have fellowship with God. worthy of more glory than Moses (3:3) Unlike Moses, who was merely a servant in the house of God, Christ is the “Son over His own house” (3:6). a High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses (4:15) While on this earth, Jesus experienced the temptations and trials of living in a fallen world. He understands the struggles we face and has compassion for us. always alive to make intercession (7:25) Christ’s priesthood is eternal. We will always have a perfect representative for us before the throne of God. Mediator of a better covenant (8:6) The old covenant with its earthly tabernacle and imperfect priests has been superseded by the sinless Christ. He is our High Priest who is interceding for us before God in heaven. our model for enduring hostility from sinners (12:2, 3) When we are discouraged, we can find strength and inspiration in Christ’s willingness to persevere. that great Shepherd of the sheep (13:20) Christ will care for us and lead us to our eternal home.
