Christ the True and Better - Hebrews 2:10-18 - The Better Adam pt.2

READ: Hebrews 2:5-9Christ’s sufferings completed and fulfilled the Great Salvation to bring many Sons to Glory. - Hebrews 12:1-2Hebrews 2:10 - “For it was fitting (prepo - to stand out, to be eminent, it is fit or right) that He, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the Founder of their salvation perfect (tel i ah o - bring to an end, complete, finish, fulfill) through suffering.”Christ has sanctified, justified, and made us acceptable to and for Him. Hebrews 2:11-13 - “For He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have One source. That is why (i tia - cause or reason, one worthy of punishment) He is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” 13 And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”Through Christ’s death and suffering, we are set free from lifelong slavery and penalty of sin, death. - John 8:36Hebrews 2:14-15 - “Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death He might destroy (ka tar gay o - put an end to, cease, do away with) the one who has (echo - to hold, possess, cling) the power of death, that is, the devil (accuser, slanderer, calumniator), 15 and deliver (apallasso - remove, release, depart, set free, deliver) all those who through fear of death were subject (enochos - bound, under obligation, subject, liable) to lifelong slavery.”Since, therefore, we share in being human, flesh and blood, Christ had become a partaker of the same things, born in the likeness of man. He experienced the struggles and pains of being human but He did not sin. He, through death, put an end and did away with that which possesses us, the power of death, that which accuses, slanders, and personally attacks us, the enemy called sin. He delivers all who fear death to which we were lifelong slaves. Christ the True and Better Adam was for us what the first Adam could not be, our gracious and faithful High Priest and King. Those who belong to the family of faith through Christ’s work on the cross have what no other faith ever has: a God who understands His people in every way and is our ever-present help.Hebrews 2:16-18 - “For surely it is not angels that he helps, but He helps the offspring of Abraham. (Who are the offspring of Abraham? Galatians 3:6-7) 17 Therefore He had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation (hilaskomai - to appease, overcome the hostility of, win over, atone for, make amends) for the sins of the people. (people of faith) 18 For because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.” Galatians 3:6-7
