Hebrews 2:1-4
So, if the angelically accompanied covenant was serious, how much more serious a covenant by one far superior to angels? We better not drift; we must pay attention.
God did not appoint angels to rule over this created world, he assigned that to people. Even though we are lower than the angels, everything else is supposed to be under our authority. But that is not what we experience right now.
Hebrews 2:9-10
Jesus comes as a man and does what we cannot do, face death and live. As our champion, he is made completely able to save us by being one of us, even to the point of suffering and death.
Hebrews 2:11-18
So, in order to free us from the fear of death and the adversary who exploits that fear, he was with us in every way. Being one of us, he is not ashamed of us. Having been one of us, we have a high priest who really does understand and will lead us to the role we had in creation.
