Hebrews 1:8 affirms Christ's divinity and eternal kingship

Disciples affirm Hebrews 1:8 as a New Testament assertion of Christ's divinity and eternal reign. The passage supports the Disciples' Trinitarian Christianity and the high Christology embedded in ecumenical confessions and communal worship. While Disciples do not require subscription to specific proofs of doctrines, the passage is understood as part of the New Testament witness to the identity of Jesus as the divine Lord. This is reflected in Disciples communion theology and liturgy, where the exalted and divine Christ is the object of worship and intercession.
