The Great Salvation: OR, The Salvation of the Gospel Great and Glorious. Delivered in several SERMONS, By BENJ. KEACH.
HEB. II. 3. How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him?
* 1.1IN the precedent Chapter, the Apostle sets forth the Excel∣lency, Glory and Dignity of the Person of Jesus Christ.
1. Above Moses and the Prophets, ver. 1, 2, 3. God who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in time past unto the Fathers by the Prophets; Ver. 2. Hath in these last Days spoken to us by * 1.2 his Son, whom he hath appointed Heir of all Things. Ver. 3. Who be∣ing the Brightness of his Glory, and the express Image of his Person, and upholding all things by the Word of his Power, when he had by him∣self purged our Sins, sate down on the right Hand of the Majesty on High.
2. Above the Holy Angels: ver. 4. Being made so much better than the Angels, as he hath by Inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they. Christ doth not only surpass Moses and the Pro∣phets, but also all the Angels of God.
