2So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.G1223G5124G2248G1163G4056G4337G191G3379G39012For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.G1063G1487G3056G2980G1223G32G1096G949G2532G3956G3847G2532G3876G2983G1738G34053So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?G4459G2249G1628G272G5082G4991G3748G746G2983G2980G1223G2962G950G1519G2248G5259G1914And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.G2316G4901G5037G4592G2532G5059G2532G4164G1411G2532G3311G40G4151G2596G846G2308
Jesus, the Man
5And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about.G1063G32G5293G3756G5293G3625G3195G4012G3739G29806For in one place the Scriptures say, "What are mere mortals that you should think about them, or a son of man that you should care for him?G1161G5100G4225G1263G3004G5101G2076G444G3754G3403G846G2228G5207G444G3754G1980G8467Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.G1642G846G1024G5100G1642G3844G32G4737G846G1391G2532G5092G2532G2525G846G1909G2041G4675G54958You gave them authority over all things." Now when it says "all things," it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.G5293G3956G5293G5270G846G4228G1063G1722G5293G3956G5293G846G863G3762G506G846G1161G3568G3708G3768G3956G5293G8469What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position "a little lower than the angels"; and because he suffered death for us, he is now "crowned with glory and honor." Yes, by God's grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.G1161G991G2424G3588G1642G1024G5100G1642G3844G32G1223G3804G2288G4737G1391G2532G5092G3704G1089G5485G2316G1089G2288G5228G395610God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.G1063G4241G846G1223G3739G3956G2532G1223G3739G3956G71G4183G5207G1519G1391G5048G747G846G4991G5048G1223G380411So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.G1063G5037G37G2532G37G3956G1537G1520G1223G3739G156G1870G3756G1870G2564G846G8012For he said to God, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people."G3004G518G4675G3686G3450G80G1722G3319G1577G5214G457113He also said, "I will put my trust in him," that is, "I and the children God has given me."G2532G3825G1473G2071G3982G1909G846G2532G3825G2400G1473G2532G3813G3739G2316G1325G342714Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.G1893G3767G3813G2841G4561G2532G129G3348G2532G846G3898G3348G846G2443G1223G2288G2673G2192G2904G2288G5123G122815Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.G2532G525G5128G3745G1223G5401G2288G2258G3956G2198G1777G139716We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham.G1063G1222G1949G3756G1949G32G235G1949G4690G1117Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.G3606G2596G3956G3784G3666G80G2443G1096G1655G2532G4103G749G4314G2316G1519G2433G266G299218Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.G1063G1722G3739G3958G846G3958G3985G1410G997G3985
