And above the ark were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.

You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor.

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

but we 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 God’s grace he would experience death on behalf of everyone.

For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

equip you with every good thing to do his will, working in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
