CROWNED WITH GLORY

It is not to angels that He has subjected the

world to come, about which we are speaking.

But there is a place where someone hasĀ  testified:

“What is man that You are mindful of Him, the

son of man that You care for him?

You made him a little lower than the angels;

You crowned him with glory and honor

and put everything under his feet.”

In putting everything under him, God left

nothing that is not subject to him.

Yet at present we do not see everything

subject to him. But we see Jesus, Who was made

a little lower than the angels, now crowned

with glory and honor because He suffered death,

so that by the grace of God He might taste death

for everyone.

In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that

God, for Whom and through Whom everything

exists, should make the author of their salvation

perfect through suffering. Both the One Who makes

men holy and those who are made holy are from

the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call

them brothers.

He says,

“I will declare Your name to My brothers.

In the presenceĀ of the congregation I will sing

Your praises.”

And again,

“I will put my trust in Him.”

And again He says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

Since the children have flesh and blood,

He too shared in their humanity so that by

His death He might destroy him who holds

the power of death- that is, the devil-

and free those who all their lives were held in

slavery by their fear of death. For surely

it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants.

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers

in every way, in order that he might become a

merciful and faithful high priest in service to God,

and that He might make atonement for the sins of

the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was

tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

(Hebrews 2.5-18).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
