The Incarnate Son and the Salvation of Humanity

Hebrews 2:5-18

2
Chapter 2
5 For it was not to angels that he subjected the coming inhabited world, about which we speak. 6 But someone testified somewhere, saying, "What is man that you remember him, or the son of man that you visit him?" 7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with divine glory and honor. 8 You subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things, he left nothing unsubjected to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting for him, through whom all things are and through whom all things come into being, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both the one sanctifying and the ones being sanctified are all from one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers. 12 saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to you.” 13 And again: "I will be trusting in him." And again: "Here am I and the children God has given me." 14 Since therefore the children have shared in blood and flesh, and he similarly shared in the same things, so that through death he might nullify the one having the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and deliver them, as many as were subject to slavery through fear of death throughout all their lives. 16 For surely he does not take hold of angels, but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, he had to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.
