We Serve This Great God and Savior

Hebrews 1:5-9 
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again:
“I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
“Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Jesus is infinitely more than created angels.  He is God’s Son, of God and as God, begotten and not created.  He is also the firstborn of we who will rise after Him from the dead, and Him we worship as only God can be worshipped and served.  Therefore all the created beings, including angels, bow before the King of kings and Lord of lords.  The angels are servants of Him who minister to us for His glory, and those of us who serve Him are as burning flames of fervent desire for His glory in the gospel words of life.  Oh, the Son of God is eternal, without beginning or end as typified in Melchizedek, and He reigns absolutely as Sovereign.  He is altogether holy and righteous, and filled with great joy in suffering and sacrificing Himself for us.  We serve this great God and Savior!
