Jesus holds a unique position above all spiritual beings, including angels. His superiority is rooted in His divine nature and His role in God’s plan of salvation. While angels continue to play important roles in God’s work, Jesus remains the central figure of our faith. His ability to forgive sins, overcome death, and mediate between God and humanity sets Him apart. As we reflect on this, let’s remember that our trust and worship should be directed to Jesus alone, the one whose name is above every name.
