THE BOOK OF HEBREW Chapter 2:6-9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. ~The word "see" means that we look upon Him with understanding. We recognize that in Him is something that our little minds do not grasp. We look upon Him in faith, in trust, in wonder, in awe, and in worship. With honour. All t his is wrapped up in the phrase, "We see Jesus" "Who was made a little lower than the angels" The emphasis is not on being made lower than the angels, but upon the word "little, and in that word the emphasis is upon "time" We could say, "who was made, for a little time, lower than the angels." for that brief time that He was upon earth (thirty-three years) He was made lower than the angels. Christ alone could redeem man, and He could do it only by dying (suffering) upon the cross. It was the only way. He was crown with glory and honour because He came to the earth and died on the cross for you and for me. He was not crown because he died, but because he came to the earth. "Should taste death for every man" means that He not only experienced the pangs of death, but He had the experience of what death really is-the very fullest depth of it. He did this for you and me. That God could be gracious to you and to me today and save us. Feel free to ask questions and or message me. Have a blessed day!
