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&#8217;ve done no study on my own.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve begun to feel the pull of the scriptures again.  I need this, to learn who this God I&#8217;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><br \/>\nHebrews 1:3  &#8211; <em>&#8220;Radiance of God&#8221;, &#8220;exact imprint of His nature&#8221;.  <\/em>That&#8217;s hard to comprehend that a man could be that, but he was.<br \/>\nHebrews 1:4-14 &#8211; 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?<br \/>\nHebrews 2:7 &#8211; He makes the point that though he was higher than the angels, for a time he was made lower.  In other words, he didn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nHebrews 2:8 &#8211; <em>&#8220;At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.&#8221;<\/em>  That&#8217;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.<br \/>\nHebrews 2:11 &#8211; 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 <em>&#8220;have one origin.&#8221;<\/em>  Higher, yet lower; different, yet the same.<br \/>\nHebrews 2:16-18 &#8211; He wraps up this angel comparison saying that it wasn&#8217;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":"<p>Well, here I am again, 4 months after I got done with my study of Ephesians, just now starting a new study.
