Reader: “I will be his Father,
Response: “and he will be my Son.”

Scripture: Hebrews 1:5-14

>For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus:
>“You are my Son.
>Today I have become your Father.[a]”
>God also said,
>“I will be his Father,
>and he will be my Son.”
>And when he brought his supreme[c] Son into the world, God said,[d]
>“Let all of God’s angels worship him.”[e]
>Regarding the angels, he says,
>“He sends his angels like the winds,
>his servants like flames of fire.”[f]
>But to the Son he says,
>“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.
>You rule with a scepter of justice.
>You love justice and hate evil.
>Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you,
>pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”[g]
>He also says to the Son,
>“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth
>and made the heavens with your hands.
>They will perish, but you remain forever.
>They will wear out like old clothing.
>You will fold them up like a cloak
>and discard them like old clothing.
>But you are always the same;
>you will live forever.”[h]
>And God never said to any of the angels,
>“Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
>until I humble your enemies,
>making them a footstool under your feet.”
>Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.
