This is in response to Ross dated 10 11 2014 from Hebrews ch.2 Go back and read Hebrews ch.1v 1 10 note v. 6 and 8. Also read John ch. 1 it will let you know about the Deity of Jesus Christ. If you look closer you will see who Jesus is.
Jesus destroyed the devil. Jesus is a Creator Son. God created Jesus and Jesus created the universe. He came here for many reasons. To reveal to man that God is a loving Father. To gain first hand experience of what it 's like to live life in the flesh because only through this actual experience could He be a perfect sovereign ruler of the universe.
I feel that it is one of the needed chapters in the Bible. It says to me " Why One of Us ? For God 's Son took on human nature to free us from Sin and Death. Hebrews 2 18 is a real good Memory Verse.
In that He Himself suffered being tempted, is able to help those that are being tempted. Jesus the captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering. Therefore we must arm ourselves with the same mind set as Christ, knowing that He is our faithful high Priest, who understands our weaknesses, and is able to give grace and mercy to help us.

Preacher Autry, what a lovely explanation of the One God in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. As Peter proclaimed on the day of Pentecost, repent and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost! There is only One Name given whereby we must be saved. Obey Acts 2 37,38.
Verse 14 "Because God 's children are human beings, made of flesh and blood, Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form, for only as a human being could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death. " This verse mentions God and Jesus. And it will only makse sense when we understand that God and Jesus are the same. Jesus is God 's person or self expresion. That is, when God expresses himself to the human race he does it as Jesus. That is why Jesus is spoken of as the creator of heaven and earth. John says it this way. "He Jesus created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn 't make. Life itself was in him. ... " This means that God as Jesus came to the earth he made and gave himself a ransom for the sins we committed. He didn 't have to do it, but he did. This was the greatest display of love a person can know. This further means that the term "Son of God " for Jesus is only a title. That is, when God came to the earth as Jesus he gave himself this title to identify himself to both God and man. He also gave himself other titles, such as Son of Man, Bread of Life, Lamb of God, etc. See, the struggle has always been between God as Jesus and Satan. It makes sense, then, that God would not send a substitute to fight for him, but come himself to defend his cause in this epic battle. This he did, and he won! What I am saying is, Jesus is no stand in, but God himself, giving himself for the sins of the world.
This scripture is not to draw us to Christ in my opinion because Hebrews 6 says to put away Christ and see the Melchizedek order of Jesus Hebrews 2 is saying that God made man in his image be it man or son of man birth and intends man to be all that he is but in image form And warns us not to ignore so great a salvation
I truly believe it is a message for those of us who are not yet SAVED to come unto to Christ Jesus and have FAITH and BELEIVE THAT HE IS THE TRUE AND LIVING SON OF GOD
HE JESUS CHRIST who sanctifies me makes it possible for me to become one with HIM. Therefore HE the POWERHOUSE in me put HIS Mind in me that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. So I live an undefeated life daily. I reThink Possible. Amen to GOD GLORY.

The new creation or regenerated spirit is my once dead spirit raised alive having been joined to Spirit of Jesus.
Jesus didn't give me eternal life - he is eternal life. He gave me himself. He is in I and I in Him - joined together.
Neglecting our salvation is neglecting Christ himself we must put our eyes on Him spent time with Him letting Him deal with our flesh. Do not neglect His word!!!
Sis. Vernita Jefferson on Hebrews 2:6 - 12 years ago
this to me is one of the most humbling verses in the new testament for me. I will never understand the why but this verse is one that will always compel me to stay in the race!
This scripture reminds me of who I am and who I belong to, and what Christ did for me. I cannot get lost in the things of this world and the lust of my flesh, but I must diligently seek him and put God first in every thing I do.
Verse 18: I have a heartfelt gratitude to the Lord for this. He knows that we will be tried with temptations, yet he is right there beside us and even became as a man and was tempted as one of us. This is so powerful to me.
About verse 9, yes indeed he was a little bit lowered than angels in physical form, only as he was a man (for all the fullness of the God head dwelleth in him). He was the word that became flesh and the word was God) to offer his life for my sins and all mankind’s. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving such a wretched like me.
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for suffering death." The whole reason He was made a little lower than the angels was for suffering of death. Only in bodily form, in the likeness of man, complete with a central nervous system and limited by mortality can one suffer, and die.
YAHchanan MoshAH Baruch on Romans 8:11 - 13 years ago
There are so many scriptural references that teach the transformational process of these mortal bodies, like 1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews 2:14-15, 1 John 3:8, 2 Timothy 1:9-10, Hosea 13:14, John 8:51-52, John 11:24-27, 1 Peter 1:22-25 and there are many more that YAHUWAH has revealed to my heart concerning the restoration of all things that teaches we are coming to the fullness of the true teachings of MeoshiYAch that He destroyed the death process in the physical body to grant true immortality in all of your physical body. The message of the gospel was all about immortality to your whole being not just a spiritual aspect, hallow the first and second Adam which are the two keys in the immortal Name of YAHUWAH. The message YAHUWAH is bringing is the fullness of the death, burial, and resurrection of His blessed Son YAHUW-shua which shall be taught into all the world as a witness of the eternal reign of the kingdom of shamaYAim and the end shall truly come, for the last enemy to be put under the feet of MeoshiYAch is death. Therefore the final message or the last trump upon the earth will be the wisdom of the fullness of love and life that is free from all forms of fear in YAHUW-shua who was raised from the dead by the power of the immortal breath of YAHUWAH, hallo RUWach QadUWsh, immortal soul of YAHUWAH breathed forth that was put upon all the true followers of MoeshiYAch known as the YAHUWans or the taught ones of YAHUW-shua the blessed Son of the immortal Creator of all creation. There are much greater revelation insights that RUWach is bringing to us at the Tree of Life that would be to lengthy in this format that have vast scriptural proofs concerning the issue of physical immortality restored through MeoshiYAch that have been omitted in all of the modern day translations that are in the original scrolls of the prophets and the true followers of MeoshiYAch that the RUWach is unveiling to us in our fellowship at the Tree of Life. YAHUWAH is our immortal Father and YAHUW-shua is our blessed Deliverance from all death and is our authority to the Tree of Life.
Jesus became a man, so that he could taste death for every man by the grace of God. We must be careful not to drift away, because there is only one name given unto man where by we must be saved, and that name is Jesus. Jesus learned obedience by the things he suffered, even the death on the cross. He is our perfect, and merciful high priest who intercedes for us in heaven before the Father. We no longer have to fear death, because Jesus destroyed the devil who had the power of death when He rose from the dead the third day. Victory is ours, and one day Jesus will sing our name before his saints in heaven. Thank God for your suffering, for we too will be perfected by the things we suffer for Christ. We are blessed we are free to worship the Lord without fear. Yet persecution is coming, and we too may have to lay down our lives for the Gospel. May the Lord give us the grace when that time comes, and may we say into thy hands I commit my spirit.
Hebrews chapter 2, spells out for us the significance God has placed on our being saved by the blood of the lamb. Given the obedience that Jesus confered to us in doing what he did not have to, knowing the cost and sacrifice that awaited him took on a task that no man could begin to understand; gave His life that we might live and not only live but in the by and by get to see not only He who made us but also the Father.
