POWER PRINCIPLE SIX: POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS
I WILL LIKE TO SHARE ON SOME KEY WORDS ON THE TEXT HEBREWS 1:4
THE KEY WORDS ARE
1) BEING MADE
2) EXCELLENT NAME.
1) BEING MADE.“Being made”– the Greek word also means “having become”. He was superior to the angels before He came to earth. But as a man on earth He was a “little lower than the angels” – Heb 2:9.But we see Jesus crowned with glory and honour, the One who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every man. After His resurrection, He rose to a place higher than the angels.
2) EXCELLENT NAME OR MORE EXCELLENT NAME.
A more excellent name”– judging from the next verse this superior name is “Son”. “Son” here means one who shares the nature of God and is to be worshiped, the Lord of the universe (vs 6,8,10). Compare Phil 2:9-11. Jesus, born into the world in a position lower than the angels, “inherited” this name which belonged to the Son of God before the universe came into existence.

It is possible that some of the “Hebrews” did not have a right understanding of who Christ is. Some may have thought that He is some sort of angel, or a person whom God created as He had the angels. This chapter shows the falsity of such views. But in showing the superiority of Christ over the angels the writer is certainly aiming at this great point: the superiority of the new covenant established by Christ over the old covenant of the Law. And the old covenant was given through angels – Heb 2:2.
Note The name of Jesus can be use in all areas of ministry
Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:17-18
