Hebrews 1 1-4

• 1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through
  the prophets at many times and in various ways,
  2but in these last days he has spoken to us by
  his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things,
  and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son
  is the radiance of God's glory and the exact
  representation of his being, sustaining all
  things by his powerful word. After he had
  provided purification for sins, he sat down at
  the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4So he
  became as much superior to the angels as the name
  he has inherited is superior to theirs.
