Son of Man Notes: Hebrews 1:1-2:4 I. 1:1-4 The Father’s Final Word - The Bright and Shining Son A 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets , 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, B whom He has appointed heir of all things, C through whom also He made the worlds; D 3 who being the brightness of His glory D and the express image of His person, D and upholding all things by the word of His power, C’ when He had by Himself purged our sins, B’ sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, A’ 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. II. 1:5-2:18 A Better Name Than Angels - Son of God and Son of Man 1:5-14 Son of God A 5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: B “You are My Son, BToday I have begotten You”? (Ps. 2:7) B And again: “I will be to Him a Father, B And He shall be to Me a Son”? (2 Sam. 7:14) B’ 6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: A” “Let all the angels of God worship Him.” (Ps. 97:7) A 7 And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.” (Ps. 104:4) B 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” (Ps. 45:6,7) C 10 And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same , And Your years will not fail.” (Ps. 102:25-27) B’ 13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “ Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? (Ps. 110:1) A’ 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? 2:1-4 Hear Him! 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
