Hebrews 2 · Grade 4

So Great a Salvation

Name Date

Read and Think

The first verses of Hebrews 2 are like a call to hold on tight. The message of salvation was first spoken by the Lord and confirmed by those who heard him. God also testified to it with signs, wonders, works of power, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The letter asks how anyone can escape if they neglect so great a salvation.

Psalm 8 marvels that God cares about people at all. What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him? God gave people honor and put things under them. But the letter admits that the world does not yet look like that. Instead, the readers see Jesus, made a little lower than the angels and now crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

Jesus shared in flesh and blood like the children he came to save. He calls them brothers and says, Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me. He came to set free those who lived in fear. Because he suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
