For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”- Hebrews 1:3, 4 12:1, 2.Ģ-4.

Accordingly, the apostle Paul writes: “After he had made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places.” What a grand example he set for all who await the ‘coming’ of the Kingdom-both those of the “little flock” who inherit the heavenly kingdom and those who will be the earthly subjects of that kingdom! As the same apostle states later: “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. Of all God’s intelligent creatures, he was the One to demonstrate that a son of God could keep perfect integrity to God, thus showing Satan to be a liar. PROVING faithful to the death, Jesus inherited a name more excellent than that of the angels.

(a) Why did Jesus inherit a more excellent name? (b) Who may profit by his example, and how?
