#BibleStudy Expressions of Faith: Hebrews Ch 2. Subjected
It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 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. 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.
Hebrews 2:5-9
Subjected
Americans bristle at the term “subject.”
· Not what’s studied in school.
· Under rule or under control of.
The reality is that all humans bristle at the idea.
We are born with a rebellious spirit.
Some show it more than others, but we all spell our names with a capital I.
God put Jesus in place of supreme authority.
How did He respond?
He “tast[ed]death for everyone[you and me]”
To whom are you subject?
If you’re not subject to Christ, it’s time to fix that!
