Lesson 5 Unit 2 Choice 5

For Unit 2 I chose Choice 5: Hebrews 1-2. Jesus Christ is Greater than Angels

1. Refer to "Epistle to the Hebrews" in the Bible Dictionary. Read the first paragraph and the "Analysis of Hebrews", number 1-5. Make a list of what Jesus Christ is superior to.

• Jesus Christ is greater than angels
• Jesus is greater than Moses
• Jesus is superior to the high priests of the law of Moses

2. Read Hebrews 1. Make a list of three truths Paul taught about the Savior Jesus Christ.

• Jesus Christ made the worlds.
• Jesus Christ is after the image of Heavenly Father
• Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God and because of this he is superior to angels.

3. Read Hebrews2:7-18; 4:13-16; Alma 7:11-15; D&C 122:8. In writing describe how these scriptures explain reasons the Son of God came to the earth to experience mortality.

• The Son of God came to earth to experience mortality because it was the only way he could atone for our sins. He had to feel temptation, hunger, sickness, and pain so that he could comfort and understand our afflictions. The thing that is amazing to me is that although he was tempted even by the devil, he did not sin. That is something that proves that he is the Son of God and that he was without blemish. This was the only way that the Atonement could work and I am so grateful that it did.
