Hebrews Chapter 2

Verse Annotation

Verse 1 - Obedience and understanding of scripture are key, as without obedience to scripture, our natural tendency is to drift away from God’s Word.

Verse 2 - No one receives injustice from God

Verse 11 - Jesus Christ guides us to the main source of life ( God) 

Verse 14 - Jesus understands in totality everything we go through, as He experienced it in order to destroy the power of death and pay for our sins 

Verse 15 - without Jesus Christ, we would all be eternal slaves without hope.

Verse 16 - The work of God was targeted not to Angels but to us ( God sees us from all eternity )  

Verse 18 -  Jesus helps us through temptation, more so as one who was tempted himself 

Reflection

We have been offered a gift we did not deserve, a gift of mercy, a gift of grace, and a gift of faith. We have been offered salvation by Jesus Christ, a salvation that rescues us from our eternal damnation of slavery to the flesh, the world, and the Devil. Jesus Christ rescued us who were completely dead in sin and gave us “life and life in abundance”. How can we trade that for short-term satisfaction, a satisfaction that is merely a drop in the ocean of time?

Jesus Christ knows our struggles; he knows what we are able to take, and He will never give us more than we can bear. He helps us as one who has experienced the pinnacle of temptation and stood firm on the Word of God. It is important to always reflect and put into practice the things God reveals to you, whether God spoke through silent prayer and meditation, directly from HIs word, or even through those around you. Immediate obedience to the word of God helps us to fight our natural inclinations and not to drift from God’s Word 

Prayer

Thank you, God for giving me Your Word; may it be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Give me the strength to obey your word immediately, give me the strength and courage to put that which you reveal to me in practice. Help me to seek your face daily and create a fire for the things of God in my heart. Teach me to always call upon your name whenever I am feeling outnumbered or tempted beyond measure, because I know you are always there with me.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
