2. How much attention do you give the Old Testament in your personal and devotional life?
3. What two activities were mentioned that Christ was actively performing at the right hand of the Father? Have you ever considered the extent of Christ’s role in creation? Discuss.
4. What does it look like for us to hope in the constant intercessory work that Christ does on our behalf? What will that look like to others?
5. Why is it important that we understand what the Bible says about angels?
a. Do we/can we become angels?
