The Name Above All Names

Because he sacrificed his life for others, God resurrected and exalted Jesus and installed him as Absolute Lord over all things.

Jesus is the only one who unveils the “mysteries of God,” only he is qualified to reveal the “unseen God.” Only in Christ are all the promises of God fulfilled. He unlocks the Hebrew Bible and discloses the “times and seasons.” The Crucified Messiah is the Absolute Sovereign over all things, and he reigns from the Divine Throne as “Lord” – (Revelation 5:9-14).

God's Ultimate Word

God has spoken His definitive word in His Son. All previous words given by the prophets were preparatory and partial.

The Letter to the Hebrews encourages us not to abandon Jesus when difficult times come. It does so by emphasizing the superiority of what God has done in His “Son.” The Word “spoken” in Jesus is superior to the earlier revelations provided “to the fathers in the prophets.” The Letter compares the Levitical system with its incomplete rituals to the “better” priesthood and “once for all” sacrifice of the “Son,” Jesus Christ.
