The Position Of The Father Is Higher Than Son
The position of the father is higher than son
You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor.(Hebrews 2:7 NIV) But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2:9 NIV)
From here we can see Jesus is a little lower than the angels in the world for a little while.
He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” (2 Peter 1:17 NIV) From here we can see Jesus is the love Son of the Father.
He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, (Luke 22:41NIV) From here we can see Jesus kneeled and prayed against the Father.
David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand (Luke 20:42 NIV)
From here we can see Jesus sat on the right side of the Father.
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. (Psalms 45:7 NIV)
From here we can see Father anointed Jesus with the oil of joy.
According to the Bible, the Son is lower than the Father, and is sent out by the Father. Even when Jesus in the world is still lower than the angels. How is he the same authority, the same ability, the same respect, the same honer with the father. When Jesus comes again, Jesus himself does not know that only the Father knows.
The son is lower than the father, and without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. It is father to bless and sent out the son not the son to bless and sent out the father. For Jesus was humble and took the image of the servant to obey the Father, and even obeyed to death, and died on the cross.
