JESUS TASTED DEATH FOR ME

Passage: Hebrews 2:5~13  

Key verse: 9


1. Jesus, the author of our salvation (5-9)

Psalm 8 praises God who created man in his own image to rule over all the created world. Mankind, however, does not rule; he rebelled against God and became a slave of sin. So God sent his Son to fulfill the prophecy of this psalm. He sent him into the world as a man, making him a little lower than the angels. Jesus suffered death so that, by God's grace, he might taste death for everyone. Then God raised him from death and crowned him with glory and honor. Thus he defeated sin and death and put everything under his feet.

2. Jesus brings many sons to glory (10-13)

God sent his Son to be our Savior. Jesus, the sinless Son of God, was obedient to death on the cross. He was made perfect through suffering and became the author of our salvation (Heb 5:8,9). Jesus did not come as a superior being; he came as a human being like us. He called himself our brother. By his death and resurrection, he makes us holy and brings us to God and to glory.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for coming as my brother to suffer and die for my sins.

One Word: Jesus is my Savior and King
