Well, here I am again, 4 months after I got done with my study of Ephesians, just now starting a new study. My ever present weakness, not getting into my Bible enough. Of course, I have been studying John with Jessica, which has been good for me as well as her, but I’ve done no study on my own.
\nI’ve begun to feel the pull of the scriptures again. I need this, to learn who this God I’m trying to follow is. Jessica has to get on the bus at 6:50 AM now a days, so our infrequent readings will be even less so. But that gives me an opportunity to get up with her and read before heading to work. Wish me luck. \ud83d\ude42<\/em>
\nHebrews 1:3 – “Radiance of God”, “exact imprint of His nature”. <\/em>That’s hard to comprehend that a man could be that, but he was.
\nHebrews 1:4-14 – He spends these verses pointing out that Jesus was not an angel, pointing out how He is different than an angel. Was there a movement among the Jewish Christians to say that Jesus was simply an angel from heaven rather than God in flesh?
\nHebrews 2:7 – He makes the point that though he was higher than the angels, for a time he was made lower. In other words, he didn’t come merely as angel nor was he god present in the world. He was in fact God, but a man as well. So, though higher, for a little while was became lower.
\nHebrews 2:8 – “At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.”<\/em> That’s certainly true. At present I see wars, crime, bills, possessions, wants, worries and more. I have to strain every day, throughout the day, to see Him.
\nHebrews 2:11 – How amazing is Jesus on earth? He came as one higher than the angels, became fro a time lower than the angels in becoming a man, and he and us “have one origin.”<\/em> Higher, yet lower; different, yet the same.
\nHebrews 2:16-18 – He wraps up this angel comparison saying that it wasn’t to help the angels that he came, but to help us. To do that, he had to be like us, suffering under temptation as we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
