Hebrews 2

 

Believers are encouraged to pay close attention to the message of salvation spoken by the Lord and confirmed by those who heard Him. They are cautioned against drifting away from the truth and neglecting such a great salvation. God testified to this message through signs, wonders, miracles, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The chapter explains that God did not subject the world to come to angels but to Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels. Through His suffering and death, He brought many to glory. Jesus became a human to defeat the power of death and to assist those who are tempted. Because He suffered, He is able to sympathize with our struggles and offer help as our merciful and faithful High Priest.

 

Eternal salvation from God through Christ is incredible and must not be taken for granted. We have this saving truth from Jesus Himself and have seen the evidence of God’s power confirming it. We cannot afford to drift or become careless in our faith. Jesus became like us, experiencing pain, fear, and death so that He could truly help us. Because He understands our struggles, we do not face them alone. We are not just saved from sin; we are brought into a family where Jesus unashamedly calls us His brothers and sisters. Having been sanctified to God through Him, let us give our allegiance to our elder brother Jesus, who is always present to comfort, strengthen, and guide us.

 

Benevolent God, thank You for sending Your Son to share in our humanity and walk among us. You did not leave us in our weakness but provided a Savior who knows our pain and understands our struggles. Because of His suffering and death, we are set free from fear and given hope that does not fade. When we feel uncertain or weary, remind us that You and Your Son are near and care deeply. Help us listen closely to Your Word and remain faithful to Your glorious Son. We trust in Jesus Christ, our faithful high priest and brother. 

 

Thought Questions:

 

What makes the gospel of Jesus “so great a salvation” to you? Has it been proven, and what happens if you neglect it after so much testimony?

 

Why did Jesus need to come to earth and suffer in the flesh for us? If He endured such to sanctify you, how should you be showing gratitude?

 

If you are a child of God and Jesus is your brother, how does that affect your hope and confidence as you seek to live the rest of your life in faith?
