The Supporting Cast of the Christmas Story (3 of 3)

Hebrews 1:4-14
It’s now just one week until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons. After all, you have presents carefully wrapped under the tree with your name on them! And some of the best food you’ll eat happens to be shared by friends and family. Whole neighborhoods are lit up with beautiful Christmas lights of every color. And the music reminds us of some great times with family.
Christmas is such a special time of year; part of the reason the time is so special is the angel’s message. We sing about angels this time of year when we sing ‘‘Angels We Have Heard on High’’ or ‘‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing.’’ You cannot have Christmas without the angels.
Find Hebrews 1 with me, if you will. I don’t know how many brain cells you have devoted to angels, but Christmas is better because of the angels. And as we will see, Jesus is even better than the angels.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
‘‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you’’?
Or again,
‘‘I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son’’?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
‘‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’’
7 Of the angels he says,
‘‘He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.’’
8 But of the Son he says,
‘‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.’’
10 And,
‘‘You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
