"...that through his death he might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death."  Hebrews 2:14-15

In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we explore Hebrews Chapter 2, which continues to emphasize the superiority of Jesus Christ and the importance of paying attention to the salvation he offers. The chapter warns against drifting away and neglecting such a great salvation, highlighting Jesus' humanity and his willingness to suffer on behalf of humanity. The author introduces Jesus as the perfect high priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses and intercedes for us before God, offering hope and assurance to believers. Through a detailed analysis of the text, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the significance of Jesus' sacrifice and are encouraged to embrace the gift of salvation, find comfort in Jesus' humanity, and trust in him as their high priest.
