Hebrews 2
2
Our Salvation Is Great
1So we must be more careful to follow what we were taught. Then we will not stray away from the truth. 2The teaching God spoke through angels was shown to be true, and anyone who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment that was earned. 3So surely we also will be punished if we ignore this great salvation. The Lord himself first told about this salvation, and those who heard him testified it was true. 4God also testified to the truth of the message by using wonders, great signs, many kinds of miracles, and by giving people gifts through the Holy Spirit, just as he wanted.
Christ Became like Humans
5God did not choose angels to be the rulers of the new world that was coming, which is what we have been talking about. 6It is written in the Scriptures,
“Why are people even important to you?
Why do you take care of human beings?
7You made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
8You put all things under their control.”#Psalm 8:4–6
When God put everything under their control, there was nothing left that they did not rule. Still, we do not yet see them ruling over everything. 9But we see Jesus, who for a short time was made lower than the angels. And now he is wearing a crown of glory and honor because he suffered and died. And by God’s grace, he died for everyone.
10God is the One who made all things, and all things are for his glory. He wanted to have many children share his glory, so he made the One who leads people to salvation perfect through suffering.
11Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy are from the same family. So he is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. 12He says,
“Then, I will tell my brothers and sisters about you;
I will praise you in the public meeting.”#Psalm 22:22
13He also says,
“I will trust in God.”#Isaiah 8:17
And he also says,
“I am here, and with me are the children God has given me.”#Isaiah 8:18
14Since these children are people with physical bodies, Jesus himself became like them. He did this so that, by dying, he could destroy the one who has the power of death—the devil—15and free those who were like slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. 16Clearly, it is not angels that Jesus helps, but the people who are from Abraham. 17For this reason Jesus had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every way so he could be their merciful and faithful high priest in service to God. Then Jesus could die in their place to take away their sins. 18And now he can help those who are tempted, because he himself suffered and was tempted.
