Episode 34: Hebrews 2

Today's meditation is based on Hebrews 2 from the Passion Translation

I know it is crucial that I be all the more engaged and attentive to the truths that I have heard so that I do not drift off course. God adds his witness to the witness of his believers by validating the good news of the gospel with signs, astonishing wonders, all kinds of powerful miracles, and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which he distributes as he desires.

Father, what am I that you would even think about me or care about the human race? Yet, you have placed your glory and honor upon Jesus's head as a crown. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands. You have placed everything under his authority. 

God left nothing outside the control of his Son, even if it doesn't look like it right now. Jesus, who lived and walked this earth as a man, has now been crowned with glorious honor because of what he suffered in his death. It was by God’s grace that he experienced death’s bitterness on my behalf.

Now he towers above all creation, for all things exist through him and for him. God made him, pioneer of my salvation, perfect through his sufferings, for this is how he brings many sons and daughters to share in his glory. Jesus, the Holy One, makes me holy. And as a child of God, I now belong to his same Father. Jesus is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce me as his sister. He said he would reveal who I really am and would glorify me with praises in the midst of the congregation. 

My confidence rests in God. I am one with Christ. 

Because I am flesh and blood, Jesus became human to fully identify with me. He did this, so that he could experience death and annihilate the effects of the intimidating accuser who held the power of death against me. By embracing death, Jesus set me free from a life lived in bondage to the tormenting dread of death. He didn’t do this for the angels, but for me, so that I could become a child of Abraham.

He had to be a man and take hold of my humanity in every way. He made us brothers and sisters, and became my merciful and faithful King-Priest before God. He removed my sins to make me one with him. He suffered and endured every test and temptation, so that he can help me pass through all the ordeals of life.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
