He is above every other messenger ever sent into the world and has a name preeminent above all heavenly beings.

Strong Verses: Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 1:8.

Striking Facts: Hebrews 1:3. The person of the Son was the true image and character of the Person of the Father. He is not said to be the «likeness» of God (implying resemblance) but «image,» which means that He reveals God. In beholding His power, wisdom and goodness, men were beholding the Father, for He was God manifest in the flesh, having all the perfections of God in Him.
