Heb 2

The writer to Hebrews reminds us in these passages that even the Psalmist in Psalm 8 told us that we are set over the works of His hands. He has bought the price of our souls that we might have dominion over the earth that He had initially given to us.
Babyl saw to the fact that it would not be just one culture that wins the prize of preeminence over the earth. God has cut the languages in such a way that no one culture has all of the truth that will allow preeminence and knowledge on the earth. When we build those partitionary walls around the knowledge that we are blessed with we are binding our own feet with the shackles of Hell. The people at Babyl were headed to the skies. When we divide we are digging holes. God tasted death for everyone and hell for everyone.
Yes we do see Jesus. Hebrews 2.8



The inference from Hebrews is that if we are not taking heed to the things that God has revealed in the Scripture about Christ, we are slipping. If Christ is not the Lord of all of the earth as we are looking at Him in the scriptures then we are falling and fallen. He was talking to the Hebrews and it is not clear how much of that promise of slipping is only for those whose hope was in Abraham and their lineage in time past. We had no hope before Christ. It is necessary to make that distinction in the book of Hebrews because, to whom much is given much is required.

Again the writer to the Hebrews gives us ammunition against flesh faith. Faith in our circumstances or lineage. Jesus is the firstborn the Brother and Savior and King and Priest. He is not ashamed to be called a Jew. Says the writer to the Hebrews. He didn't come to save the devils and take them out of their damnation. He came to save the sons of Abraham. Salvation is certainly for the Jew and to the Jew first. But, we were in His mind that He saved to the utmost and is saving to the utmost, all who come to God through Him.





Lest we drift away. God's word is a stablizing factor? God's word is a strength against the winds and the waves of disobedience and pride and anxieties and transgression that were the soul infirmity for generations. We have a more sure word of prophecy. We have a more sure commitment of God for our salvation and deliverance from sin. We have a more clear and lucid expression of the heart of God than, even the angels did before their fall. They see His face and they do not touch His heart. We have His heart expressed to us in the Word and we are blessed to have it. Sinning against the express heart of God, without an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous would have eternal consequences. We have eternal promises of God's commitment to our lives and continuance in faith. God bore witness on the earth to His heart having been expressed by signs and wonders.
Not only do we have the heart of God in His Word, we have elders of many generations who have agreed upon its translation so that in the languages that we read there are many expressions that come to same conclusions, even on the most obscure passages. We cannot neglect His expression of His heart of mercy and grace. It is poured out upon us in such abundance there is nothing to do but bask in His salvation.
The writer to the Hebrews was pleading with the Jews not to miss the mercy of God expressed in Jesus. There will come no other salvation. Don't miss the expression of God in the Lord Jesus. God loved us enough to commit the ultimate sacrifices on our behalf and the people who already had His expressions of love were shadowed from seeing it by the shadows of God's goodness upon them for generations. Isn't that just like us. When we have the mercy of God we become complacent and miss the fresh promises of fulfillment and grace and truth that God has wrapped in a package everyday. Halleluia, that there is mercy and grace for today. Help me Lord not to miss it for the love of yesterday's mercies.
