His Distinguished Name
The Son achieved the “ purification of sins ,” and therefore, he qualified to “ sit down at the right hand of the majesty on high .” In this exalted position as the High Priest “ after the order of Melchizedek ,” he intercedes for his people. And he inherited a “ more distinguished name ,” namely, that of “ Son .” And in Chapter 1, the Letter to the Hebrews demonstrates that this “ Son ” and High Priest is vastly superior to even creatures as mighty and glorious as angels.
