Welcome to Living Word Cast! I’m Pastor Michael Chilcott, coming to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This podcast exists to proclaim, teach, and explore the Word of God together. Our goal is to provide sound theological and biblical guidance on all things Scripture, helping you grow deeper in your understanding of the Bible and your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whether you’re seeking answers, encouragement, or a closer walk with God, this podcast is here to help you stay firmly rooted in the truth of God’s Word. Hebrews 2: The Humanity of Christ and Our Salvation

Key Verses:

  • Hebrews 2:9 – "But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death..."

  • Hebrews 2:14 – "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things..."

Theological and Doctrinal Insights:

  • Christ’s Humanity: Jesus became human to experience suffering and death on behalf of humanity.

  • Victory Over Death: Through His death and resurrection, Jesus broke the power of death and sin (Hebrews 2:14-15).

  • Christ as the High Priest: Jesus can empathize with our struggles because He became fully human (Hebrews 2:17-18).

Context:

  • Hebrews 2 reinforces that Jesus had to be fully human in order to save humanity. It speaks to His role as both the perfect Savior and the faithful High Priest.

Common Misconceptions:

  1. Jesus' humanity makes Him less divine – Jesus was fully human and fully divine (John 1:14). His humanity was necessary for our salvation (Hebrews 2:17).

  2. Christ’s suffering was unnecessary – Christ had to suffer to defeat sin and death (Hebrews 2:10-15).

  3. Christ’s humanity ended after His resurrection – Jesus continues to be fully human and divine (Hebrews 2:17).

  4. We don't need a Savior because we can overcome sin on our own – All have sinned and need a Savior (Romans 3:23). Jesus' sacrifice was the only way to salvation (John 14:6).

  5. Jesus’ victory is temporary – Jesus’ victory over sin and death is eternal (Hebrews 2:14-15).
