Superior to Angels

What is you view of Jesus? What is your opinion of Him? Do you view Him as a friend? A brother? A genie who fulfills wishes? Or do you see Him as Almighty God? Someone who keeps His promises? Do you view Him as being majestic? Do you believe He is superior to everyone?

Our viewpoints of Jesus vary. They may vary from one day to the next. When we are in trouble, we may view Him as someone who can saves us. When we are happy, we may view Him as our brother. When we are in need, we may think of Him as our provider.

Though it may be understandable to view Jesus as different based on our circumstances, we must never lose the image of Him as Almighty God. He sits on a throne in heaven. He is majestic in appearance and presence. He is superior to all the angels. He is superior to any and every human being. His name is above all names.

Jesus showed us who God is in human form when He walked this earth. He showed us how to have compassion on our fellow humans. He showed us how to look toward things that are permanent rather than things that are temporary. He showed us how we should prioritize our lives to serve God. We must remember that Jesus can be viewed in many ways, but always remember He is far superior to all of us.

I pray we all have our different viewpoints of Jesus. I pray we continue to remember Jesus is God. I pray each one of us can picture Him as a majestic King sitting on His throne in heaven. See Jesus from different viewpoints. Remember He is God. See Him as King of kings and Lord of lords. See Him as majestic.

Hebrews 1:3-4 He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
