The Better Covenant part 5 – Jesus Made Lower Than The Angels

The Better Covenant

Jesus Made Lower Than the Angels

Hebrews 2:5-9

(Introduction) The World to Come

5 For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.

- Old world was subject to angels

- Eternity will be subject to Christ

(1) Jesus – Made Lower Than the Angels

6 But one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?

7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.

- for a little while – not a little bit – temporary

(2) Jesus – Ruler of the World

8 You have 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 do not yet see all things put under him.

(3) Jesus – Crowned With Glory

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

What does this mean for you?

(1) Things are not always as they seem

(2) Jesus is in control

(3) Jesus suffered and died for you

(4) Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of God
