Jesus Christ is Greater than Angels

I don’t know if I would ever question that Christ is greater than angels but apparently someone did because Paul helps us understand why Christ is Superior. In Hebrews, Paul teaches that Christ’s law of the Gospel is greater than the Law of Moses as Christ was sent here to fulfill that law. It has been finished through his Atonement on our behalf. Christ is God’s only begotten son and he is in the exact image of our Father and is heir to all things. Christ is also the creator of worlds. All these things make him more excellent in name, inheritance, and of a higher calling than that of the angels. Angels are important and they have brought many great messages to the Earth but when Christ speaks, our attention should be on what he has to say.

As were taught the Plan of Salvation in life before this earth, we knew that someone would have to come to help us return to home. We all listened as Christ and Satan both presented plans. Ultimately, Satan’s plan was rejected and he became anger causing Heavenly Father to send him away, along with anyone that wanted to follow him. Those that choose Christ’s plan then were sent to Earth to be tried and tested. Because we would be exposed to many trials and temptations, Heavenly Father sent Christ to act in our before and make up for what we could not do for ourselves. While he was here on earth, he also did other things to better help him understand what we would experience along the way. He suffered our pains and afflictions. He allowed himself to be tempted. He descended below them all to know exactly how we will feel and know how to help us in our darkest hour. He knew that we would need someone there to watch us through those moments when no one else could possibly understand.

In exchange, all that He asks of us is to know Him, obey his commandments, and never forget why He did what He did for us. As we build our faith, obey His words, turn to Him during our times of need, He will be there for us. The angels only do what is asked of them. Christ, knowing what we went through personally, knows exactly how to help us in our darkest hours. I know that through Him and all that He did on our behalf, we can not only get through our trials here on earth, but we can return home to Heavenly Father to live with Him again.
