S12E02: Of the Son Begotten (Hebrews: In These Last Days, Part 2)

Sermon #610

Having laid down some extraordinary claims about the Son of God, through whom God has spoken in these last days, the writer of Hebrews now turns to the Hebrew Scriptures - specifically the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament rendered in the Third Century B.C. - to make his case that Jesus (who thus far is unnamed in the epistle) is no ordinary man but the divine Son.  He is superior to the prophets in that he is the Son of God himself, and he is superior to the angels who are ministering spirits and created beings.  Through the Psalms and the words of Moses, the writer of Hebrews presents the case that this is the begotten Son of God and not a created being.  In fact, the angels themselves are commanded to bow down to Him.  Hence, there is something extra special in the message that He brings.
