Hebrews: A 28-Day Musical Devotionalنموونە

The Angel's Moment in the Sun

This Jesus, through whom God has now spoken, is supreme. His preeminence is seen first in comparison to the angels. Yes, angels are glorious beings, but Jesus is more glorious. The author gives three pairs of Old Testament quotations to emphasize the expansive gulf existing between the eternal Son of God and these heavenly servants.

Angels, they may be on high,

Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

But the songs they sing are songs of Christ,

Praising him who reigns supreme.

Gloria in excelsis deo!

* Throughout the Hebrews album, there are moments when the music gives way to sounds of live theater such as introductory remarks, ambient noise, and spoken dialogue. Imagine that this entire musical work is a theatrical drama, and the songs are the imaginative expression of what the actors are trying to portray on stage.
