Hebrews - Daily Verses - "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."

 


KJV Hebrews 2

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.


Explanation

Hebrews is like the Gospel of John in this respect - the divinity of Jesus Christ is described eloquently. The Fourth Gospel is impressive in its soaring revelations, revealed with plain simple words. Hebrews is quite different in being the most difficult in Greek and in condensing so much thought.
