F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-14

God’s Final and Supreme Messenger Hebrews 1:1-14 Christianity is greater than the Mosaic dispensation because it has been given through the Son, whereas the Law came through angels. See Acts 7:53 . The message of the Gospel is connected speech; that of the Law was broken syllables. The Son’s intrinsic glory , Hebrews 1:1-4 . Jesus is the channel of creation, providence and redemption. He is the far-traveled ray of Deity; but not one among many equals, for of Him alone could it be said that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:1-14

The first words of this epistle plunge to the heart of the subject. Two truths are revealed: the first, God; the second, that God has revealed Himself. Two periods of revelation are referred to, that "of old time," and that "at the end of these days." These periods are contrasted. The first was characterized by diversity. The new is characterized by unity. The whole argument is to show the superiority of the speech that has come through the Son. His glories are set forth in a sevenfold... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-13

Seeing Christ in Hebrews Hebrews 1:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Hebrews ever stands before us as a great Bible masterpiece on the glories of Christ. The 1st chapter, which we are using, for the introduction, demonstrates that Christ is, in at least seven stated points superior to angels. We need not marvel at this, inasmuch as the opening verses of Hebrews establish the Deity of our Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ. In these verses, Christ is set forth as follows: 1. He is God's Son. ... read more

The Superiority of Christ to Angels Hebrews 1:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Jesus Christ was God in ages past; He was God, manifest in flesh; He is God in the ages to come. In His Deity, He is the same yesterday, today, and for ever. He was not less than God, in the humiliation of His incarnation: He is not more than God in the added glories of His exaltation. There are some who would teach that Jesus Christ, in eternities past, was no more than perfect angel; that in His earth life, He was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:1-3

The Heavenly Ministry of God’s Son, Our High Priest (Hebrews 8:1-3 ). Hebrews 8:1 ‘Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this: We have such a high priest, who has taken his seat on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,’ He first reiterates all that he has been saying by bringing out the chief point (or ‘the whole sum’), and that is that we have such a High Priest as has been described in Hebrews 7:26-28 and that He has sat down on the right hand of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:1-4

God’s Only Son (Hebrews 1:1-4 ) The prime opening message is that ‘God has spoken’, and that having spoken through the ages through revered men, He has finally spoken and given His final word through One Who is uniquely ‘of the nature of a Son’. All that had gone before had been building up to Him. This can be compared with Mark 12:1-11 and parallels, ‘He had yet one, a beloved son. He sent him last to them saying, “They will reverence my son” ’. It can also be compared with John 1:1-18, ‘in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:3

‘When he had himself made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.’ And this One Who was of the nature of an only Son, appointed the heir of all things, creator of the world, the outshining of God’s glory and the exact reproduction of what He is, ‘Himself made purification of sins’ (middle voice - He was intimately involved). We later discover that this was by the sacrifice and offering of Himself (Hebrews 10:10). He suffered, the righteous for the unrighteous,... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:1-4

Hebrews 1:1-Numbers : . Introduction.— In a majestic opening sentence the writer declares the theme which he proposes to develop in the chapters that follow. Christianity is the final and all-sufficient religion, for Christ is no other than the Son, who accomplished once and for ever the saving purpose of God. To His people of old God had spoken by human messengers, who could only disclose fragments of His will, as it came to them by word or vision or symbol. To His later people, whose lot is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 1:3

Who being the brightness; the same gospel minister, God’s Son, was, as to his person, απαυγασμα, a brightness shining out: which word sets forth the natural eternal generation of God the Son, discovering both the rise and flux of his being, and the beauteous and glorious excellency of it. It is the same in the sight of it with the Father’s, the brightness of glory, light of light, glory of glory to perfection, streaming from his Father incessantly; as beams issue from the sun, or the mental... read more

THE ESSENTIAL SUPERIORITY OF THE REVELATION IN THE SONCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 1:1. God.—Placed abruptly, as the first and emphatic word, in the English translation; and properly so placed, because the unity of God is the truth concerning which the Jews were so supremely jealous, and the message of this treatise could not have been received by the Jews if it had raised the faintest suspicion of sympathy with the Gnostic heresy, that the Old Testament dispensation was the work of... read more
