Abstract

The superiority and uniqueness of Jesus Christ is described in detail in the letter to the Hebrews. Deep observation will uncover truths that will enrich faith. The very essence part is learning about the person of Jesus. Chapters 1 to 7, the writer of Hebrews discusses the superiority of Christ over persons who occupy important positions in human life. The facts of the superiority of Jesus are revealed in this section in great detail and depth. The following are the advantages of Jesus that must be understood so that they are not easily swayed by teachings that lessen the person of Jesus. First, Jesus is superior to the prophets. There are great prophets, there are last prophets but Jesus is superior to all of them. Second, Jesus is superior to the angels. There is nothing like Jesus Christ and the angels cannot compare to Him. Jesus is much higher and His name is much more beautiful. The Son of God is far more glorious than the angels. Third, Jesus is superior to Moses. The greatness of Moses is unquestionable. But the writer of Hebrews presents Jesus as “deserving greater glory than Moses.” Fourth, Jesus is superior to Aaron. Aaron was a highly respected high priest. The writer to the Hebrews introduces Jesus as the Great High Priest. In other words, Jesus is higher than Aaron.
