According to the main points of this passage, why is Crhist superior to angels?
Hebrews 1:4 So Jesus became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, �You are my Son; today I have become your Father�? Or again, �I will be his Father, and he will be my Son�? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, �Let all God�s angels worship him.� In speaking of the angels he says, �He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.�
But about the Son he says, �Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.� He also says, �In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.� To which of the angels did God ever say, �Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet�? 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Christ is superior to angel because angels are created spiritual being, who are servants/messengers of God.verse 4 tells us Jesus Christ's name is more excellent than the angels, and His position as God's Son, make Him superior to the angel. Christ complete His work on the cross for the remission of sins and took a seat on the right hand of God the Father. The angel have not died for anyone, and cannot died for anyone.
As stated in verse 6: And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, �Let all God�s angels worship him.� This means that the angel worship Christ as God's Son, but Christ does not worship the angel. Christ is superior to the angel because of His redemptive work He accomplished, He is superior to the angel becuase of His position as God's Only Begotten Son, and He is superior to the angel because He has a better name than the angel which has mighty power to heal, deliver, save, and cast out demons and unclean spirits. Jesus Christ is worshipped and served by the angels, and God(Jesus Christ) incarnated created the angel. The dignity of of Christ as the Son is the dignity of God, but the dignity of the angel is as servants.
