When we think of angels as they appear in novels, movies, television shows, and art, we are prone to end up with a disjointed, inconsistent, and unbiblical view of these creatures. The only true way to gain a proper understanding of angels (and demons) is to study what the Bible reveals about them. The author of Hebrews forces us to consider angels because he mentions them repeatedly in the first two chapters of the letter. So, considering the author's inclusions of angels and remembering his purpose in writing this letter - the supremacy of Christ - the most important thing we can know about angels is where they stand in relation to Jesus Christ. It is to this matter that the author of the letter directs our attention next.
