“What Jesus’ Salvation Looks Like - Hebrews 2:5-10
March 13, 2010
The discussion about Christ’s superiority over all that He created continues. The writer now shows Jesus’ superiority as God’s final revelation by being the ultimate high priest and elaborates on Jesus’ relationship to the salvation that the reader is not to neglect. In doing so, the writer calls all to his main focus: remain faithful to Jesus and avoid apostasy. This is as necessary for us who are prone to drift, as it was for fledglings in the Christian faith of that time who were wooed by the pomp and ritual of the culture that surrounded them. The book calls the reader to cast off any weight or entangling sin and to fix our eyes upon Jesus, who initiated our faith. Jesus empowers us to run the race with faith until the day of our souls’ perfected transformation in eternity (cf. Hebrews 12:1-3).

It is very interesting
It is very interesting Jerome, that phrase: life is in the blood, because as I was studying a little bit about the passover to write to my friends, it is always intriguing why God required sacrifices to the atoment of sins and in the same time it is clear, that when a lamb was sacrified, he "saved" other life that did deserve to die instead. And the Lamb of God, came, He knew no sin and yet, "became" sin for us, to save us. He shed His blood, for us, for love, by the grace of God. Thanks, it was very good!
