And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was.

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!

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.
