Hebrews Epilogue

1:1 - 2:4, Divine Nature of the Son (Messiah, Christ)

  • God speaks today through his Son

  • You are my Son, Today I have begotten You

  • Let all the angels of God worship Him

  • Of the Son: Your throne O God is forever

  • The righteous scepter is the scepter of Your kingdom

  • THEREFORE, GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU

  • IN THE BEGINNING YOU LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH

  • THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

  • THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN

  • YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END

    FOR THIS REASON

    • We must pay closer attention to what we have heard (from the Son)

    • So that we do not drift away

2:5 - 2:18, The humanity of Christ

  • Since we have flesh & blood,

  • he (Jesus) too, had to be made like us in all things,

  • suffering in death & suffering when tempted,

  • so that he might become a merciful & faithful high priest,

  • to make [atonement] for our sins.

    Therefore,

    • He is able to help those who are being tempted.

    • So consider Jesus, the Apostle (of our confession) & High Priest of our confession
