Hebrews 1:4 (KJV)
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
John Gill wrote this excellent piece:
“Christ is so much better than the angels, as the Creator than the creature; as an independent being than a dependent one; as he that blesses than he that is blessed; as he that is worshipped than he that worships; as a king than his subjects; as a master than his servants; and as he that sends than he that is sent.”
Verily, Christ is so much better than the angels.
But my focus is on the phrase “by inheritance obtained…”
One commentator, Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, says, “He always had the thing”—that is, sonship. But it was through the gospel that it was made known to men and angels.
He inherited it because it was His. But it was in the gospel act that He made it manifest. His right of inheritance was shown to be right by His right use of it. We’ve all known of those who inherited something only to squander it away. And we’ve heard of others whose right it was to have an inheritance—and they proved that it was right for them to have it by how well they used it.
Jesus, God in flesh, the only begotten Son of God, proved Himself as God—greater than the angels—by doing what only God could do: giving Himself for our sins.
