The Supremacy Of Jesus Word

SUPREMACY OF JESUS WORD

We find in the book of Hebrews that those addressed (Jewish Christians) were persecuted, were in danger of being tempted to fall away and, in order to strengthen them, the superiority of Christianity to Judaism is demonstrated by showing the superlative excellence of Christ. He is (1) superior to the prophets; (2) superior to the angels; (3) superior to Moses. (4) His priesthood is superior to that of Aaron, being a priest after the order of Melchizedek. (5) Then the superiority of the New Covenant to the Old is shown, being a better covenant, based upon better promises. EVERYTHING ABOUT JESUS IS SUPREME!

Heb 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. Jesus Christ’s word sustains all things.

Sustains means: To keep from falling or sinking. Maintains, supplies.

2 Pet 3:3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this ’coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." (2 Pet 3:5 NIV) But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

(2 Pet 3:7 NIV) By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

The word of God is living and it’s active.
