Jesus Christ Is Greater than Angels

1.    Refer to “Epistle to the Hebrews” in the Bible Dictionary (pp. 746–47). Read the first paragraph and the “Analysis of Hebrews,” number 1–5. Make a list of what Jesus Christ is superior to.

• Jesus is greater than the angels
• Jesus is greater than Moses
• Superior to Melchizedek
• Superior to Aaron
• Greater than Abraham

2.    Read Hebrews 1. Make a list of three truths Paul taught about the Savior Jesus Christ.

• Jesus Christ made the worlds.
• He purged our sins for us.
• Jesus sits on the right hand of God and is superior to angels

3.    Read Hebrews 2:7–18; 4:13–16; Alma 7:11–15; Doctrine and Covenants 122:8. In writing describe how these scriptures explain reasons the Son of God came to earth to experience mortality.

He came to the earth to atone for our sins and save us. We could not pay the debt of sin and we needed someone blameless to intercede for us and give us the opportunity to come back to the Father's presence, if we repent and keep the commandments.

It was also necessary for Him to come because as He had suffered all things, we can find in Him the consolation and helpmeet for our current conditions. Similarly He suffered temptation, but did not fall into it. Therefore we can find in Him strength to resist our own temptations
