Hebrews 2:14,15 "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
He has overcome even death! What a peace! What a relief! What freedom!!! God is in control and His love for us is great! May we trust him... even in death.
Hebrews 2:17,18 "Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
He has been where we are. He has suffered, became sin who knew no sin. He has seen and tasted and had victory over it! We need Him and His power or Satan will destroy us in our sin. May we go to Him today for strength to turn and run from temptation.
Hebrews 3:5,6 "Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope."
What do I hope in? What is my confidence in? What do I hold fast to? My spouse, my doctor, my medicine, my body image, my things, my bank account... All these will let me down and then will I search for greener grass on the other side? May I hold on to Jesus Christ, who reigns forever!!! In him is true joy and hope! We can have life abundantly and eternally with him. Thank you Father for sending your Son to be the Savior of the world!!!!!
