This is an example of one way to study the Bible. Probably not the best, the only, or anything else, but it does help me get “off the dime” when undergoing serious study. I was shown it at a College Bible study some years ago. Hope you like it.
I intend to post these in this form.
Chapter Summary Bible Study Method
Title – Two or three summary encapsulations of the chapter
Jesus – God’s best final revelation and His supremacy to angels
Teaching – What does it say? A paragraph breakdown summarized by a single sentence.
The chapter says thAt Jesus is the best revelation we get on this side of eternity because he not an ordinary angel messenger, but the saving Son of God.
Passage Summary / Thoughts
| Hebrews 1:1-4, | use Luke 20:9-18 as an illustrate God the Father’s assignment of Jesus as His final, best spokesman. |
| Heb 1:3 | the glory of God is His salvation, in Yeshua, His Son, whose name means God is my salvation.” |
| Heb 1:4 | name: Jesus’ essential person, that is the second person of the Trinity as opposed to the lesser angelic Sons of God (Job 1:6) or adopted human (Gal 3:26, 4:6) |
| Heb 1:5-10 | quotes Psalms 2:7, and 2 Sam 7:14 among at least 11 other Old Testament quotes. This is strong evidence suggesting the intended audience of the letter was the Jewish Christian |
| Heb 1:14 | Appears to support the idea that we do have “Guardian angels.” |
