The reason why you can do this life is because of Jesus.
Before we move forward into chapter 3 let us pause and look back on our journey so far.
In chapter 1 the Pastor told us that Jesus is the heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe; He is the radiance of God’s glory; He is the exact representation of his being; He sustains all things by his powerful word; He provided purification for sins’ and He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Therefore, because of these facts, the Pastor teaches the people of God:
- You know this so don’t move from this position and don’t change the message handed to you, v1-4.
- You can face whatever comes against you for you are better, greater, more superior than your accusers because of His achievement and His gracious gift to you, v5-9.
- You are more than enough. You are not what the devil says you are. You are who Jesus has made you in Him, v10-13.
- You are helped by Jesus because of His incarnation, His atonement on the cross and His breaking of the power of the devil, v14-18.
Hebrews is about seeing Jesus. It helps those who are cast down, who have been discouraged, the lonely, the battered and bruised to see their high priest. Seeing Jesus is to see how He suffered but won. Seeing Jesus is to see how His victory is our victory. Seeing Jesus is to live in Him not at the mercy of this world. When we want to give up He is there making sure we don’t. He is able to be, do, say whatever is needed at the right moment in our lives.
That’s the message and that’s why we read Hebrews 2.
