Hebrews 2 - Introduction

GIVE THE MORE EARNEST HEED

-- HEBREWS TWO --

We must attend diligently to the things that were spoken by the Lord and not allow ourselves to slip away from them. The writer of Hebrews shows what Jesus accomplished by becoming the man who died for all. His message is greater than the Old Law.

People gave heed to that Old Law. Should we not even more heed the New Covenant which was given by one who was greater than the angels? Jesus has the right to be heard because: (1) The world to come has been put under Him, (2) He was crowned with glory and honor, and (3) He tasted death for every man.

Jesus became a man and suffered severely to provide salvation for humanity. Jesus took upon Himself our nature and suffered for our sins. The Hebrew writer wrote, "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." (Hebrews 2:9) Jesus conquered him who has the power of death, the Devil.
