     Explanation: Hebrews 2 tells us that we must pay close attention to what we have heard. Since the Mosaic revelation was reliable, and every disobedience to it brought a just retribution, much more are we obligated to the revelation which came from Jesus and was confirmed by his apostles with signs and wonders (1-4).
     God has put the world to come in subjection to Christ (Psalm 8:4-6), not to angels. This will occur in stages. For a little while he was lower than the angels. Now he is crowned with glory and honor because he tasted death for others. It was by suffering that Christ, the founder of our salvation, became complete. Christ and those whom he sanctifies are one, and he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Various Scriptures speak of Christ and his people as being in a relationship of brotherhood (Psalm 22:22), trust (2 Samuel 22:2 and Psalm 18:2), and parent to child (Isaiah 8:17-18). Christ became incarnate so that he could, by dying, destroy the Devil, who has the power of death, and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. His incarnation also helped him to be a merciful and faithful high priest and to make reconciliation for sins. And, because he suffered, being tempted, he is able to relieve those who are tempted (5-18).]

Hebrews 2


1. The Doctrine of Christ & its Implications (Hebrews 1:1 - Hebrews 10:39) - 60 A.D. Italy


     1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
     5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
     10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
     14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
