Hebrews 2 - Praying God's Word

Please read Hebrews 2.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/heb/2/1/s_1135001

Meditate on verses 9-10.

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor,

 so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. 

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things,

in bringing many sons to glory,

to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.

The book of Hebrews is a great gift because it helps you understand the superiority of Jesus over other revelations of God, angels, Moses, the Levitical priesthood, and previous sacrifices.  The words superior and better are used 15 times in Hebrews.  It is a book of better things. 

Chapter 2 completes the argument of Jesus’s superiority over angels started in Hebrews 1 and reveals the benefits of God’s gift of Jesus.  He overcomes death (vs. 9, 14-15), makes you His brethren (vs. 10-14, 17), and becomes your high priest, taking away your sin (17-18).

As thankful children, pray Hebrews 2:12-13a over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, ______ and I proclaim Your name to our brethren,

In the midst of the congregation we sing Your praise.

We will put our trust in You.

In Your name, Jesus~”
