Letter to the Hebrews Volume 16

Jesus Christ' Suffering for Humanities Sin has brought and continues to Bring many sons/daughters to Glory Part 4


Hebrews 2:16 For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. KJV


After man's/Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden, man not only gave up dominion of the earth to the devil, but he opened up himself to the knowledge of good and evil, as it is written, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17) (KJV). When Adam died, he did not die physically at that very moment of his disobedience, but he died spiritually and therefore his perfect and pure connection to God the Father was immediately broken, requiring him from then on to make blood sacrifices to God as a covering for his sin and sinfulness now which had become a part of him, as it is written prior to their disobedience they did not even recognize that they were naked, as it written, "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." (Genesis 2:25) (KJV), but as soon as they disobeyed their eyes were opened to their nakedness before one another and their shame and guilt of their sin before God, as it is written, "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden." (Genesis 3:7-8) (KJV). Now God the Father slew an animal for them immediately when they recognized their shame, nakedness, and guilt before one another and before God, as it is written, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." (Genesis 3:21) (KJV). Just like many years later in the future God the Father would slay His only begotten son for or so that the sins of humanity in the world could be covered by His Blood by all who come to Him. 


Now many many years following Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden, God the Father spoked to a man named Abram (at the time but later changing his name to Abraham) and told him to leave his Father's land and go to a place that He (God) would show him and made a promise to this man that his descendents would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the sea shore, as it is written here, "And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." (Genesis 22:15-18) (KJV). Therefore, we now find the writer of Hebrews declaring that our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ took upon Himself the seed of Abraham and not Adam, as it is written here, "For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham." (Hebrews 2:16) (KJV). This is written because the promise of the Messiah was made to Abraham and not to Adam, as it is written by the Apostle Paul to the Church @ Galatia, "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Galatians 3:16) (KJV).


Here is what Adam Clarke had to say of Hebrews 2:16, "Moreover, he doth not at all take hold of angels; but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold. This is the marginal reading, and is greatly to be preferred to that in the text Jesus Christ, intending not to redeem angels, but to redeem man, did not assume the angelic nature, but was made man, coming directly by the seed or posterity of Abraham, with whom the original covenant was made, that in his seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed; and it is on this account that the apostle mentioned the seed of Abraham, and not the seed of Adam; and it is strange that to many commentators should have missed so obvious a sense. The word itself signifies not only to take hold of, but to help, succor, save from sinking, etc. The rebel angels, who sinned and fell from God, were permitted to fall down, alle downe, as one of our old writers expresses it, till they fell into perdition: man sinned and fell, and was falling downe, alle downe, but Jesus laid hold on him and prevented him from falling into endless perdition. Thus he seized on the falling human creature, and prevented him from falling into the bottomless pit; but he did not seize on the falling angels, and they fell down into outer darkness. By assuming the nature of man, he prevented this final and irrecoverable fall of man; and by making an atonement in human nature, he made a provision for its restoration to its forfeited blessedness.


If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...


Sincerely in Christ,

Letter to the Hebrews Volume 15

Jesus Christ' Suffering for Humanities Sin has brought and continues to Bring many sons/daughters to Glory Part 3


Hebrews 2:13-15 And again, I will put my trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given Me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Hebrews 2:13-15) (KJV)


Our Lord, Master and Savior Jesus Christ has fellowship or communion with us (His brethren and sisteren) as we continue in our sojourn or pilgrimage here on the earth away from our heavenly home. He (Christ) shares in all our feelings of joy, gladness, or ecstacy, likewise He shares in our feelings of sadness, pain, and sufferings, therefore, the writer of Hebrews declares that He presents us to God the Father as His children, "And again, I will put my trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given Me." (Hebrews 2:13) (KJV). Our Lord Jesus Christ so identifies Himself with us that He decrees, declares, and even designates Himself as puting His trust in God the Father just as we adopted sons and daughters do daily through our personal relationship with Him. This statement put down for us here by the writer of Hebrews 'I will put my trust in Him' is so remarkable in the sense that Christ Jesus and God the Father are One (1 John 5:7), yet it shows the selfless, sacrificial, and submissive way in which our Lord Jesus Christ humbled Himself below the angels (He created) and made Himself man (also whom He created) out of love for humanity in order to give everyone who would come to Him redeemption, rebirth, and reconciliation with God for time (right now) and for eternity (after the death of the body). I know this sounds very narrow (Matthew 7:14), but remember it is very narrow in the way one becomes a member of the human race, it only happens through the womb of a woman, no other way, likewise, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. If ye had known Me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." (John 14:6-10) (KJV).


Here is what Alexander MacLaren had to say of this verse, "A perfect manhood must needs be a dependent manhood. A reasonable creature who does not live by faith is either God or devil: Jesus Christ's perfect manhood, sinless, stainless, did not absolve Him from, but obliged Him to, a life of continual dependence upon God; His divinity did not, in the smallest measure, interfere with the reality of the faith which, as man, He exercised, and which was the same in kind as ours. So, dear friends, it all comes to this; there is one way to know God and only one. 'He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.' All else is darkness. There is one life, noble, pure, worthy of humanity, and only one: the life of trust in Christ, who is at once the object and pattern of our faith; and believing in whom we believe in the Father also. There is but one fountain of life opened in the graveyard of this world, and that is in the Son, drinking of whom there shall be in us a fountain springing up to life everlasting. There is but one way by which we can become sons of God, through the elder Brother, who grudges the prodigal neither the ring nor the feast, but Himself has provided them both. So listen to Him declaring the name; say, 'I will put my trust in Him'; for you trust God when you have faith in Christ; and then be sure that He will give you of His own life; that He will invest you with the spirit of adoption and the standing of sons, that He will keep His hand about you, and never lose you. 'Them whom Thou hast given Me, I have kept,' He will say at last, pointing to us; and there we shall stand, 'no wanderer lost, a family in Heaven,' whilst our brother presents us to His Father and ours, with the triumphant words -'Behold I and all the children whom Thou hast given Me.'"


Because the first created man Adam (who was flesh and blood like each of us) gave over dominion to the devil, that dominion had to be regained by a man back from the devil, that man was and is the God/Man Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection from the dead defeated the devil for mankind for time and eternity, therefore, we read these next two verses by the writer of Hebrews, "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;" (Hebrews 2:14) (KJV) and "And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:15) (KJV). Jesus Christ is our Elder Brother, for He is the first One of us to be resurrected from the dead with a new Glorified Human Body. Did you know that Jesus Christ right now in heaven has a Glorified Human body. That is just what we will have when He returns for each one of us (His adopted sons and daughters), as it is written, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is." (1 John 3:1-2) (KJV).


By virtue of Christ taking on man's sin on the Cross and suffering for man's sin by shedding His very own blood and dying to pay man's sin debt, the power of death (given to Satan by God's permission) was broken and more importantly for those of us who are redeemed sons and daughters the fear of death is broken because we know and understand and firmly believe these words written by the Apostle Paul, "Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:14-18) (KJV) and also these words written by the same Apostle Paul, "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:6-10) (KJV).


Here is what Matthew Henry had to say of these two verses, "For no higher nor lower nature than man's that had sinned could so suffer for the sin of man as to satisfy the justice of God, and raise man up to a state of hope, and make believers the children of God, and so brethren to Christ. He became man that He might die; as God He could not die, and therefore He assumed another nature and state. Here the wonderful love of God appeared, that, when Christ knew what He must suffer in our nature, and how He must die in it, yet He so readily took it upon Him. The legal sacrifices and offerings God could not accept as propitiation. A body was prepared for Christ, and He said, Lo! I come, I delight to do Thy will. The devil was the first sinner, and the first tempter to sin, and sin was the procuring cause of death; and he may be said to have the power of death, as he draws men into sin, the ways whereof are death, as he is often permitted to terrify the consciences of men with the fear of death, and as he is the executioner of divine justice, haling their souls from their bodies to the tribunal of God, there to receive their doom, and then being their tormentor, as he was before their tempter. In these respects he may be said to have had the power of death. But now Christ has so far destroyed him who had the power of death that he can keep none under the power of spiritual death; nor can he draw any into sin (the procuring cause of death), nor require the soul of any from the body, nor execute the sentence upon any but those who choose and continue to be his willing slaves, and persist in their enmity to God. That He might deliver His own people from the slavish fear of death to which they are often subject. This may refer to the Old Testament saints, who were more under a spirit of bondage, because life and immortality were not so fully brought to light as now they are by the Gospel. Or it may refer to all the people of God, whether under the Old Testament or the New, whose minds are often in perplexing fears about death and eternity. Christ became man, and died, to deliver them from those perplexities of soul, by letting them know that death is not only a conquered enemy, but a reconciled friend, not sent to hurt the soul, or separate it from the love of God, but to put an end to all their grievances and complaints, and to give them a passage to eternal life and blessedness; so that to them death is not now in the hand of Satan, but in the hand of Christ - not Satan's servant, but Christ's servant - has not hell following it, but heaven to all who are in Christ."


If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...


Sincerely in Christ,

Letter to the Hebrews Volume 14

Jesus Christ' Suffering for Humanities Sin has brought and continues to Bring many sons/daughters to Glory Part 2

Hebrews 2:11-12 For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto thee. KJV Note: MKJV = Modern King James Version

As we declared in the last study/commentary, the Blood of Jesus Christ is the ONLY acceptable payment for everyone's sin debt, but at the same time His Blood is the means, the method, and the manner in which all of us who are sanctified and who are continually being sanctified get clean and washed from our sin, "For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren," (Hebrews 2:11) (KJV). For example in the natural when a person's body gets muddy or dirty or filthy from work or play then he or she can only get clean or washed from that filth or dirt on their body by using soap and water, blowing yourself with air won't work, standing in the sun won't work, rolling around on the ground won't work. Likewise, in the spiritual realm, nothing else can give a soul a true sense of being washed and cleansed from sin but the Blood of Jesus, as it is written, "If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us." (1 John 1:6-10) (MKJV).

The English phrase 'He that sanctifieth' is translated by the Greek word hagiazō which means to make holy, that is, (ceremonially) purify or consecrate. The Perfect and Sinless God of Very God (Jesus Christ) of whom we are sanctified and continually being sanctified by His Blood is not ashamed nor does He ever feel shame in calling me (Clifford DeWayne Tate, Sr.) His brother and so He feels about everyone of His sons and daughters that He has redeemed, as it is written, "And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation. And You made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign over the earth." (Revelation 5:9-10) (MKJV). Here is what Alexander MacLaren had to say of our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ not being ashamed to call us brethren, "NOT ashamed to call them brethren. Why should He be? It is no condescension to acknowledge the fact of brotherhood, any more than it is humility to be born. And yet there is One who had to empty and humble Himself in becoming man; and for whom to call men His brethren is a depth of unimaginable condescension. We would say that a prince was not ashamed to call his subjects his friends, and to eat and drink with them, but we should not say it of a subject. This word 'ashamed' is meaningless in the present connection unless there underlies it the lofty conception of Christ's person which is enfolded in the first chapter of this epistle. If He be, and only if He is, the 'brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of His person,' is it condescension in Him to enroll Himself amongst our fraternity."

It is the Son of God Jesus Christ who declares God the Father to every adopted son and daughter (John 1:18) and therefore the writer of Hebrews tells us that it is our Lord Jesus Christ who declares God the Father to His adopted children in the Church, "Saying, I will declare Thy name unto My brethren, in the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto Thee." (Hebrews 2:12) (KJV). The writer here is quoting a Psalm of King David (Psalms 22:22). This is exactly what our Lord Jesus Christ said to the first disciples after His Resurrection just prior to His Ascension back to heaven when He said these words to Mary Magdalene, "Jesus said to her, Do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, I ascend to My Father and Your Father, and to My God and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken these things to her." (John 20:17-18) (MKJV). Here is what Alexander MacLaren had to say of how Christ declared the Name of God to His brethren, "What is that 'name'? The syllables by which men call Him? Surely not. But the name of the Lord is the manifest character of God; and therefore the only possible way of declaring Him is not by words but by acts. A person can only be revealed by a person. God can only be shown to men by a life. Words will never do it; they may represent men's thinkings, but they never can certify God's fact. Words will never do it, they may suggest hopes, fears, peradventures; but unless we have a living Person whose deeds on the plain level of human history, and in this solid world of ours, are the manifestation of God, our thoughts of Him will neither be solid with certainty nor sweet with comfort. It must be a human life which is more than a human life, but yet is thoroughly and altogether man, that to men can manifest God. Our highest conceptions of the divine nature must be in the form of man. Between the little sphere of the dewdrop and the great sphere of the sun that is reflected prismatically in it, there is absolute identity in the laws that shape their round. So limited humanity has such an analogy with unlimited divinity as that, in the mirror of manhood, the brilliancy and ineffable brightness of the Godhead can be manifested. That life, the life of Jesus Christ, is the making visible for men of the glory of the invisible God."

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...

Letter to the Hebrews Volume 13

Jesus Christ' Suffering for Humanities Sin has brought and continues to Bring many sons/daughters to Glory Part 1

Hebrews 2:10 For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. KJV

Our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ when He was born to Mary was then God and is now God and always has been God even before His birth and incarnation at Bethlehem. With that said, He did not need to be made perfect in His humanity, but what the writer of Hebrews will declare in this next verse is that He (Jesus Christ) by the sufferings in His earthly life and death was made a perfect sacrifice to God the Father for humanities sin. Here is what the writer of Hebrews declares in verse 10, "For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." (Hebrews 2:10) (KJV). The English phrase 'to make the captain of their salvation perfect' is translated by the Greek word teleioō meaning to complete, that is, (literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in character): - consecrate, finish, fulfil, (make) perfect.

In other words, the God/Man Jesus Christ was made a perfect and complete sin offering to God the Father in  Heaven. You see every human being is going to present their offering to God the Father for the payment of their sin debt to Him. The only offering or payment He is accepting is that of the Blood of Jesus Christ, therefore, every sinner will be covered by and under the Blood of Jesus or they will not; there is no other acceptable payment, not being a good person, not doing good deeds, not being a kind person, not anything but the Blood of Christ. We see in the Old Testament the two different offerings made to God by the two brothers Abel and Cain, as it is written here, "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." (Genesis 4:3-5) (KJV). The moral of the story of the two brothers is again, only the right offering (blood sacrifice or blood atonement), as it is written, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." (Hebrews 9:22) (KJV) will be accepted by God without respect of person, that is, no matter who you are or who you think you are.

Here is what Dr. John Gill had to say of this verse, "This is not a periphrasis of Christ, who died, but of God the Father, who delivered Him to death; and who is the final cause of all things, in nature, and in grace, all things being made for His pleasure and for His glory; and He is the efficient cause of all things, as follows: all the works of creation, providence, and grace: not to worldly glory, but to the heavenly glory, which they are undeserving of; and which was long ago prepared for them; is at present hid; is weighty, solid, durable, yea, eternal: the persons whom God, of His rich grace, brings to this, are 'sons'; who are predestinated to the adoption of children; are regenerated by the Spirit of God; believe in Christ; and have the spirit of adoption given them, and so being children, are heirs of glory: and these are 'many'; for though they are but few, when compared with others, yet they are many, considered by themselves; they are many that God has ordained to eternal life, and given to Christ, and for whom He has given Himself a ransom, and whom He justifies; and accordingly there are many mansions of glory provided for them in their Father's house, whose act it is to bring them thither: He has chosen them to this glory, and prepared it for them; He sent His Son to redeem them; He reveals His Son in them, the hope of glory; He calls them to His eternal glory, and makes them meet for it, and gives them an abundant entrance into it: and Christ is 'the Captain of salvation', and is so called, because He is the author of it; and He is the Prince and Commander of these sons, who are committed to His charge, and are under His care; and He is their guide and leader; and who is gone before them to prepare their mansions of glory for them: and He is made 'perfect through sufferings'; He suffered all that the law and justice of God could require; and hereby He became perfectly acquainted with the sufferings of His people, and a perfect Saviour of them; and in this way went to glory Himself: and it 'became' God the Father, the first cause, and last end of all things, since He had a design to bring all His adopted sons to glory, that His own Son should perfectly suffer for them; this was agreeable to, and becoming the perfections of His nature, His wisdom, His veracity, His justice, grace, and mercy."

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...
