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 2:18

Hebrews 2:18 I. The Divine Son of God, before His incarnation in our flesh, was in His own personal being separate from the sons of men. The counsels of infinite love resulted in His becoming the Saviour of the world of that world whereof man was the head and lord. It pleased Him, in His amazing condescension, to plant Himself in the root of our human nature, which had fallen from God and from love. We all see and know how necessary this was. But we do not, perhaps, so often reflect upon the... read more

DISCOURSE: 2277CHRIST’S POWER TO SUCCOUR THE TEMPTEDHebrews 2:18. In that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.THERE was in various respects a necessity for Christ’s humiliation: on our part, that, an atonement being offered for us, we might find favour with God: on God’s part, that his justice might be satisfied, and his law be magnified: and on the part of Christ himself, that he might be qualified for the discharge of his mediatorial office.... 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

Hebrews 2:18Himself hath suffered, being temptedA tempted Saviour, our best succourI.MANY SOULS ARE TEMPTED--CHRIST WAS TEMPTED. 1. They are tempted from all quarters. 2. They are tempted in all positions. 3. Every age has its temptations. II. AS THE TEMPTED OFTEN SUFFER, CHRIST ALSO SUFFERED. Temptation, even when overcome, brings with it to the true child of God a great degree of suffering. The suffering consists in two or three things. 1. It lies, mainly, in the shock which sin gives to the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 2:18

18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Ver. 18. He is able to succour ] And no less apt than able; as he that hath been poor, or troubled with toothache, will pity those that are so. Queen Elizabeth said in her speech to the children of Christ’s hospital, as she rode through Fleet Street, We are orphans all; let me enjoy your prayers, and ye shall be sure of mine assistance.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 2:18

18. For To illustrate the word sufferings by the particular case of temptation. Being tempted An historical confirmation of Matthew 4:1-11. He is able We are connected to the man Jesus by a pure and beautiful human sympathy. Abstract theism, presenting a pure infinite, fails to awaken our human affections until deity is to us humanized. But in Jesus we find a divine brother. And, through Jesus, infinite righteousness is able to deal with us, not by the rule of the infinitely perfect... read more
