But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Good morning! Here is today’s word of blessings for you.

Hebrews 2:7-10

7 You made them a little lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honor
8 and put everything under their feet.”
In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.

Today’s title is “Look To Jesus!”

Life is full of mystery. We do understand some things about our life. But still, there are a lot of things that we do not fully understand. I am sure that Christians have a much greater understanding of our life and the world we live with the revelations from God. But, we have to admit that there are still a lot of things that we don’t understand, nor can we explain clearly. The bible clearly shows that there is such a limit in our understanding. And we must accept such limitations humbly. Deuteronomy 29:29 says “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.” So we Christians do not claim that we know everything. But what do we do about the things that we don’t understand? Should we just give up on such things as God Only Knows? God wants us to look to Jesus. We gather greater insights and understandings of life and the world when we look to Jesus with a humble mind. That’s exactly one of the main themes in the book of Hebrews. “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12”1-2). Yes, we do gain insights on the unanswered problems of life as well as we gain strength to persevere and overcome them. Maybe that indeed is the reason that God has left some issues of life unanswered for us. He wants us to form a holy habit of constantly looking to Jesus rather than be content with greater knowledge. Today’s passage starts with the acknowledgment of the gracious blessings of God upon man. God crowned us with glory and honor. He put everything under our feet. God left nothing that is not subject to man. Yet at present, we do not see everything subject to them. This gap between God’s promise and proclamation and the reality of life poses questions even to the faithful servants of God. We see a lot of those examples in the lives of godly people such as Abraham, Moses, David, Job, and Jeremiah. We do have no fewer questions than those fathers of faith, don’t we? Today’s passage echoes the eternal answer. Look to Jesus. Look how He was made lower than the angels for a little while, but now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Without looking to Jesus, we may never reach the answer. But when we look to Jesus, we see the wonderful mystery of God’s love and salvation unfolding before us. Are you looking to Jesus?
