Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.
The writer warns us to pay much closer attention to the gospel so that we do not drift away. If breaking the old covenant message given through angels brought judgment, how much greater is the danger of neglecting the salvation first spoken by the Lord, confirmed by eyewitnesses, and attested by God through miracles and gifts of the Spirit (2:1–4). Psalm 8 is quoted to show that although humanity was made lower than the angels, God placed everything under their feet. Though this dominion was lost in Adam, it is fulfilled in Jesus, who was made lower for a little while, suffered death, and is now crowned with glory and honor so that He might bring many sons and daughters to glory (2:5–10).
Jesus became fully human so that He might call us His brothers and sisters, destroy the devil who held the power of death, and free us from fear (2:11–15). He did not come to help angels, but the offspring of Abraham. By becoming like us in every respect, He became a merciful and faithful High Priest, making propitiation for our sins. Because He Himself suffered and was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted (2:16–18).
🌀 Reflection:
We must not take lightly what God has spoken through His Son. Jesus became one of us—sharing flesh and blood, enduring suffering, and defeating death—so that He could be both our Brother and our High Priest. In Him, we find help in temptation, freedom from fear, and hope of glory.
💬 Mission Challenge:
Be intentional to share the hope of Christ with someone who is weighed down by fear, suffering, or temptation today. Remind them that Jesus has walked the same path and offers real help and deliverance.
