Scripture: 1 John 1:1-6
This blog post is like an intermission from our little "What Love Is" series. To recap what we've learned about love so far:
- The greatest display of love ever, that truly defines love, is Jesus' sacrifice
- The result of that sacrifice is our adoption into God's family
- As in any loving relationship, trust is crucial; our trust stems from who God is and that He's given us the Spirit
Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-18
As I noted last time, Hebrews 1 and the beginning of Hebrews 2 give us a crucial truth-- Jesus is supreme, and so His message is supremely important to our lives. 'But,' the Hebrew audience might have objected, 'Jesus was a man, right? You're telling me a first century human was high above the angels and, as I sense you're about to tell me, Moses of old?'
I'm not sure how these ancient readers would have known about the numbered century system or what the author would write next, but their imagined interjection is a reasonable one. If the Son of God has all the glory and preeminence described in chapter 1, why do we find that He has lived life as a human?
