Now, as the writer continues his argument, the dialogue shifts. The focus is now upon the human nature of Christ. And this must necessarily raise the question: "How can one who has a human nature be superior to or even considered along side the heavenly, the powerful, the host of heaven . . . angels?" This appears to be the focal point now for the remainder of Hebrews 2. The question then, "How is it that THIS human nature of this Jesus could be so superior that we should listen to Him, and then . . . . why?" Why was it necessary that this One, who has a divine nature, who always was divine, who never was not, and indeed, who made the heavens and the earth, why is it that this One would also stoop to such a level, as to take on human nature. Setting forth then BOTH, the divine and the human nature of the Lord Jesus and showing how both, in the One Person of Jesus Christ, are not only necessary, but are then far superior to angels, such that He should be heard, listened to, and heeded. |
