FSTS: Jesus our Pioneer, Priest, and Provision
Mar 300:36:02Tap to summarizeSCRIPTURE: Hebrews 2:10-18Pastor Mark wraps up the author of Hebrews' discussion of angels and Jesus. This scripture is actually a transitional passage between demonstrating Jesus' superiority over angels and establishing His superiority over the roles Moses and Aaron played in the Old Testament. The author begins to open the door for us to see how Jesus is the grand Liberator--far greater than Moses. He also begins to show us how Jesus is the great High Priest--far greater than Aaron. Our passage concludes by comforting us in our trials and tribulations: Jesus is our ultimate hope and help.

FROM SHADOW TO SUBSTANCE: We See Jesus
Feb 2300:34:40Tap to summarizeScripture: Hebrews 2:5-9This Sunday's message comes from a profoundly rich passage. These five verses wrestle with this: If Jesus was superior to angels, and if he's that much more powerful, then why did he appear like any ordinary person?To tackle this question, the author of Hebrews reflects upon Psalm 8. He concludes that Jesus only appeared inferior for a time during his incarnation and particularly in his crucifixion. However, even through these apparent weaknesses, his death didn't diminish his superiority. Jesus' incarnation and crucifixion qualified him all the more to be our Savior-King.So yes, this passage is rich. But it's also practical. If Jesus is so superior, if Jesus is the perfect Savior, then why does it appear that everything is out of control? Hebrews 2:8b-9 invites us to keep our eyes on Jesus despite the supposed evidence around us: "At present, we do not see everything in subjection to him. But we see him who, for a little while, was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus.So, as you listen today and look around, what do you see? Do you see an inferior Jesus in a powerful world, or do you see a powerful Jesus in a broken world?" Do you see the powers of culture overtaking the authority of Jesus, or do you see the power of Jesus reigning over and above the chaos? Do you see the one who is truly in control? May you be comforted as you listen by seeing Jesus. We see Jesus, even within the chaos of our times. History will continue to repeat itself, but Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.
