1-2 The chapter starts off by highlighting how God in the past has communicated with His people various times and ways to the prophets, and is now doing it through His Son, through whom He also made the worlds. Then in the next verses continues to introduce His son whom He is now speaking through. 3-4 The Son: being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person (revelation of His glory, Jesus here to reveal the character of the Father full, the only one who can, the angels can't, nobody but Him), glory: character - exodus 33:18-19) and Jesus said whoever has seen Him has seen the Father (John 14:9). This Jesus uphold all creation (h=which was created by His word- 'let there be") by His word. Who is now at the right hand of God the Father, after His sacrifice/paying our debt. And now holds the highest position after His sacrifice . 5-6 Jesus exalted: only He has the title The Sone of God- psalms 2:7 (prophecy about the Messiah). who is to be worshipped by all creation 7- 8 The angels are ministering spirits for God whereas to the Son, He says Your Throne, O God... 9-10 Then goes on to describe Jesus and His work - He loves righteousness and hates lawlessness (sin) , and has made the Father glad above all (oil of gladness- the Father to the son) still exalting Him acknowledges that He is creator (John 1:1-4) 11-12 Acknowledging that God alone is eternal (doesn't need upholding, or source of life, He is life). He doesn't change - Malachi 3:6 13-14 Jesus is the exalted one, angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minster to us who will inherit salvation. APPLICATION -understanding Jesus' status - be thankful for the ministering spirits (angels) -reflect Jesus' image as He does the Father's
