(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.”

(Heb 2:9) “But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”    It is after the suffering, death, burial, and resurrection that Jesus was crowned with glory and honor. Praise our humble Lord and Master!

(Heb 2:9) “But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”    Note the phrase “for every man” which negates any argument of a limited atonement meant only for a select few. The elect are each of those who the all-knowing God saw through time itself repenting and embracing Jesus’ death in his place.

(Heb 2:9) “But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”    “Taste”: eat, experience. Just as we voluntarily eat from time to time, the eternal God voluntarily both took on a human body and submitted to torture and death in our place. He did that for you!

(Heb 2:9) “But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”    God’s grace (favor towards us we do not deserve) motivated the Godhead to suffer and die in man’s place rather than send man into eternal damnation.

 (Heb 2:9) “But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”   Notice the very revealing statement, “But we see Jesus,….made lower… ‘for’ the suffering of death…..”  The Lord Jesus did so many things while here that John states he supposed if they were all recorded the world would not be able to hold the books (Jn 21:25). Yet…..His coming was for one thing: to pay for my sin by suffering death in my place!

(Heb 2:8d) “… But now we see not yet all things put under him. (9) But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”  “Not yet”, indicates Jesus’ coming and deathwill change the subjugation of the world back to where God intended it. By the way, when God restores, He makes it better than before.

(Heb 2:8) “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”   For over six thousands years, this world has not been under the dominion of man: “But now we see NOT yet all things put under him.”  No, sin brought an end to that plan. All of creation has suffered because of man’s sin against God.

WATER  (Heb 2:7) “Thou…crownedst him with glory and honour,… (8)  Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”  The “all things in subjection” to man is referring to all of creation – meaning this old world. It was meant to be governed by individuals bearing the image, likeness of God. Likeness meaning of His disposition, not like fallen man at all.

 (Heb 2:7) “Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:”   Man’s glory was being made in the image of God. His glory was of being divinely appointed to be over the works (creation) of God. He lost that glory through sin. He can regain it through the rebirth – salvation.
