"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man. Very good. We're going to say it one more time, but with some spaces this time. We'll see how good death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man. Let's pray. Father, God, may that truth ring in our hearts this morning." [00:23:23] (55 seconds)
"The author of the book was not disputing the value and the role that the angels played in giving us the word. In the words of God, what the author is saying is that, that yes, angels are great, but Jesus is better. Yes, God spoke to us through angels in the past, but now in these last days, God has spoken to us through his son, through one who is even greater than Moses, one who is even greater than Moses, or than the angels. And so God is trying to get us to understand the preeminence of Jesus over all things, over all people, over all entities, even then, the mighty angels." [00:40:22] (46 seconds)
"How should we respond to the words of Jesus Christ? He says, therefore, because Jesus is better than the angels, because his word is greater, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. The author gives two words that indicate how, what our response should be to the words of Jesus Christ. The first one is we read in verse number one, the word heed. That means to be aware, to be attentive, to be cautious about, to adhere to." [00:48:38] (35 seconds)
"They had heard about salvation through Jesus Christ alone, not any works, not anything else, but through Jesus alone. But they had not yet trusted in him for salvation. And if they would not listen, if they neglected what was right before them, they would find themselves slowly drifting away like a boat that's been untied from a dock. They would slip away. They would escape from the dock. They would just slowly meander away if they didn't give earnest attention to what God was saying. The author was imploring them to not let the opportunity to listen to the word of God, to trust in God, to pass away from them." [00:51:08] (42 seconds)
"This was the word that was spoken by the angels and they knew it to be true. Why then would they not give heed to the very word spoken by his son that was proven Jesus Christ verified who he was through his acts, through his miracles, through his wonders, through the act of dying on the cross and eventually raising from the dead to defeat death, hell and sin. Jesus Christ was the one. He proved himself to be the son of God. And then he empowered those who were his followers, the apostles with signs and wonders to verify that the message they were preaching was indeed the word of God as he tells us in verses three and four." [00:52:11] (36 seconds)
"Jesus tells us in the book of Revelation, to him that overcomes, I will grant to sit on my throne, even as I also overcame and sit down with my father in his throne. Man, one day are gonna be granted a place of authority because of Jesus Christ. But that hasn't happened yet. In chapter two, verse number eight, he says, but now, last part, but now we see not yet all things put under him, under man. But then he states in verse nine, but we see Jesus. But we see Jesus. See right now, we don't understand what we're gonna be one day. But if you wanna understand what your life is gonna be like one day, look to Jesus Christ." [00:54:23] (40 seconds)
"A third benefit that we receive is we become victors over death and the devil and of doubt. It says in verse 14. He says for as much then as children are partakers of flesh and blood. He also himself likewise took part of the same. That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death. That is the devil. And deliver them who are through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. You know the fear of death can be a paralyzing reality. It is something that holds people. If you've ever seen someone really afraid. They just become stuck and stiff." [01:03:50] (34 seconds)
"Jesus, by dying for us, defeated the power of death, the power of the devil and the fear of death. We know that all who believe in Jesus have eternal life, not because we're good, but because he is awesome. The final benefit that the author mentions that we receive is that from the great gift of salvation is victory over sin. He says in verse 16, for verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham." [01:08:06] (26 seconds)
"Jesus Christ died for our sins. He became like us, little lower than the angels, to die in our place, to make reconciliation with God, to pay the price for our sin. For in that he himself, has suffered being tempted, he is able to secure or to help them that are tempted. You know you don't have to sin today. You still have a sin nature even after salvation. That temptation to sin is still there. But you have a high priest who understands what you're going through. Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil just like you are." [01:08:59] (35 seconds)
