The book of Hebrews elevates Jesus beyond any previous person, angel, tradition or idea. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word." (1:3) When we come to grips with this, we have no excuse to turn him away. "how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?" (2:3)
Jesus came and lowered himself so that we could be adopted into his family. His death destroyed the devil, whose chief weapon was death and the fear of death that held us as slaves. Our Savior suffered so that we might live our lives knowing that the price for our sin has been paid by the Son of God. We won't encounter anything in life that He hasn't already dealt with. He is our merciful and faithful high priest. How freeing is that?
