DAILY DROP OF WATER

 (Heb 2:11)  “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,”    This verse taken with the previous, “Captain…..perfect through sufferings”, speaks of the result of 2Co_5:2,  “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” 

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Heb 2:11)  “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,”   This “oneness” with Christ reveals in what way we are “sanctified”. Having been made “one” with Christ means we are “justified” from sin. We no longer are seen by the Holy God of Judgment as having ever committed a sin, thus set apart from the world.

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Heb 2:11)  “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,”  “Sanctified”: set apart. Notice first and foremost that those “sanctified” and made so by being put, in the determinate mind of God, in Christ (“…all of one:…”). If that were not true, our continued “thoughts” (acts of sin) would defile us. God sees us “in” His Son.

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”   “Captain”: it means “chief”, “leader”, “captain”. This thought goes perfectly with the term “head”: (1Co_11:3) “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ;”

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”   Note that in the salvation experience; that is, from the moment it is given, one becomes a son, made perfect in God’s eyes through their Captain.

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”   Since the Captain suffered for the sons, then all sons must come through His sufferings. That means one’s heart must bring their sins to the cross, in mental acknowledgement that those sins caused that suffering. Forgiveness is had for the sincere asking.

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”   “By Whom are all things”:  There is nothing in existence, whether physical or spiritual, that God did not create. That makes Him not only the God of all things but also Lord of all things. Is your will bowed to His will?

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”   “For Whom are all things”:  everything that God has made, seen and unseen, are “for” Him. That is, (Rev_4:11) “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”  Do you fulfill your purpose in pleasing God?

(Heb 2:10) “For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”  “Became Him”: suitable, proper, right to do.  Holiness demands sin be punished. The degree of God for sin is death – period: (Eze_18:20) “The soul that sinneth, it shall die”; (Rom_6:23) “For the wages of sin is death;…”  Jesus’ perfection was capped off with this offering of love; to die in our place: (2Co_5:21) “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
