Hebrews starts out telling the communications God has sent to us: “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…”  This Son, Jesus, has these amazing characteristics:

– He was appointed the heir of all things

– The world was created through him

– He is the radiance of the glory of God

– He is the exact imprint of God’s nature

– He upholds the universe by the word of his power

– He made purification for sins

– He is seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high

– He has become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs

No wonder the section title in the ESV says “The Supremacy of God’s Son.”
