Hebrews 1 - EasyEnglish Bible 2024（EASY）

Chapter 1Jesus is God's complete message about himself

1Many years ago, God spoke to our ancestors by his prophets. He spoke many times and in many different ways.

2But in these last days, he has spoken to us in his Son. In the beginning, God worked through his Son to make the whole universe. He decided that everything should belong to his Son.

3The Son shows us completely what God is like. He shines with God's great glory. His nature is the same as God's nature. The Son's powerful word causes everything to continue. He himself made it possible for us to be clean from our sins. After he had done that, he returned to heaven. He went and he sat at the right side of God, who rules with all authority. Jesus is much greater than the angels

4That shows us that God's Son is much greater than the angels. God has given him a name that shows he is more important than they are.

5God never said this to any angel:

‘You are my Son.

Today I have become your Father.’

In another place in the Bible, God says,

‘I will be his Father,

and he will be my Son.’

6Also, when God was ready to bring his firstborn Son into the world, he said:

‘All God's angels must worship him.’

7God speaks about the angels like this:

‘God makes his angels like winds.

They serve him like fires that burn brightly.’

8But this is what God says to his Son:

‘You are God and you will rule as King for ever!

You will rule your kingdom in a completely good way.

9You love everything that is right.

And you hate everything that is wrong.

Because of that, you will be completely happy.

I am your God and I have blessed you.

I have chosen you to be greater than all other people.’

10God also says this to his Son:

‘Lord, in the beginning you made the earth.

With your own power,

you also made everything above the earth.

11All these things will come to an end.

But as for you, you will continue for ever.

Like clothes, those things will all become old.

12Then you will put them away like an old coat.

You will change them, like people change clothes.

But you will always continue to be the same.

Your life will never come to an end.’

13Also, God has never said this to any of the angels:

‘Sit at my right side until I win against your enemies completely.

Then you will be able to put your feet on them.’

14So we see that all the angels are spirits who serve God. God sends them as his servants to help the people that he will save.
