Hebrews 2:14

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:1-18

Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:18 . The Son is Superior to the Angels.— For this theme the way has been prepared in the closing words of Hebrews 1:14. The section may possibly be directed against angel-worship, which in some churches, as we know from Colossians, was encroaching on the faith in Christ. More probably the writer’ s aim is simply to enforce the supremacy of Christ as compared with even the highest of created beings. In Hebrews 1:5-2 Chronicles : he collects a number of Scripture texts... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:5-18

Hebrews 2:5-Job : . Resuming his argument, the writer deals with the objection that Christ cannot be ranked above the angels in view of His earthly humiliation. This objection is answered by conclusions drawn from Psalms 8:4-Joshua : *. Christ was indeed made lower than the angels, but for the purpose that He should rise to the sovereign place. Only by His suffering and death could He be fitted for His supreme work as High Priest and Saviour. The angels had no authority over that higher... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:14

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood: the Spirit having proved the children and brethren sanctified by Christ to be men, proceeds to prove, that the Sanctifier of them was of the same nature with themselves; and so confirms what he asserted, Hebrews 2:11, that they were of one: forasmuch as those were chosen, born of God, and given to him, adopted into his sonship and heirship, and by this, as well as by their humanity, derived jointly with his own from Adam, his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-18

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 2:5. World to come.—The new dispensation. Rabbinical teaching was divided under two heads: (1) hâ‘ôlâm hazzeh (the present world), and (2) hâ‘ôlâm habbâ (the world to come). The period referred to in this verse is that which succeeds the exaltation of Christ. But the word used by the writer strictly means “the inhabited earth.”Hebrews 2:6. The writer brings this quotation from the 8th Psalm to show that man is recognised as inferior to angels. This he admits... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:11-18

Hebrews 2:11-18 I. The first truth which is brought before us in these verses is, that Jesus, who is not ashamed to call Himself brother, and us His brethren, is one with us. We who are sanctified by Him, and He who sanctifies, are of one. Christ is He who sanctifies. The source and power of sanctification are in Jesus the Son of God, our Saviour. He is the foundation, source, method, and channel of our sanctification. The Holy Ghost, the Comforter, is sent by Christ to glorify Him, and to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:14-15

Hebrews 2:14-15 In Bondage to the Fear of Death. I. There is no real ambiguity in the passage before us, though it may appear so at the first glance, in the use of the word death. Our Lord is said, by means of death, to have destroyed him who has the power of death. On the first occasion of its use, death means of course the death of the body; the completion of the life of suffering which is in itself inchoate death. In the second instance, the death, of which the devil is the source and... read more

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.IS it so indeed, that He who was the brightness of his Father’s glory, and the express image of his person; that He who created and upholdeth all... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Hebrews 2:14

The Destroyer Destroyed A Sermon Delivered on Sabbath Morning, December 6, 1857, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens. "That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil" Hebrews 2:14 . IN GOD'S ORIGINAL empire everything was happiness, and joy, and peace. If there be any evil, any suffering and pain, that is not God's work. God may permit it, overrule it, and out of it educe much good; but the evil cometh not of God. He... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 2:1-18

Hebrews 2:1 . We ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard. The things relating to the glory of the person of Christ, and all his offices as mediator; these we ought to study, to weigh them in our minds, and see the old testament full of Christ, the Redeemer, the Angel of the covenant, the God of Bethel; for the Saviour of the patriarchs is our Saviour. Lest at any time, whether through prosperity or persecution, we should let them slip, or let the image... read more
