INTRO: We are in the second to last message on chapter 2. Hebrews 1:1-4 is one of the most outstanding descriptions of Jesus Christ in Scripture. In 2:9-18 we have a most amazing description of His incarnation and ministry. Verse 8 says that God put all things under Christ's feet. The verse then ended like this: "But we do not yet see all things put under Him." Verse 9 then said, "But we see Jesus." And so I titled verse 9 like this, "But we see Jesus made lower than the angels." Verse 10, "We see Jesus made perfect." Verses 11-13, "We see Jesus made a sharer in Humanity." And last, in verses 17-18 we will look at, "We see Jesus, made like His brethren." These verses form a conclusion to this section. In chapters 1-2 the writer's subject is the hope that is better than that of angels. In chapters 3-13 he deals with the hope that is better than the hope of the priesthood. Only when we come to almost the end of chapter 2 are we introduced to the word "priest" but after this chapter it will occur over and over. In the last message we were looking at verses 14-15 and we are up to verse 16. So we'll read verses 14-18 and get the flow of verse 16:
