Why is Christ considered better than the angels in Hebrews?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is better than the angels because He is the Creator and holds a superior position as our High Priest.

Hebrews establishes that Christ is superior to the angels as He is not merely a created being but the Creator Himself. The letter emphasizes that although angels are mighty beings, they are still part of creation, whereas Christ is the Son of God, possessing divine authority and power. His priesthood, described as after the order of Melchizedek, is further exalted as it provides a perfect and lasting salvation, thus underlining that Jesus's mediatory work far surpasses any role angels might have held.
