Hebrews 2:8
“What we do see is Jesus, made ‘not quite as high as angels,’ and then, through the experience of death, crowned so much higher than any angel, with a glory “bright with Eden’s dawn light.” In that death, by God’s grace, he fully experienced death in every person’s place.”
“What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position ‘a little lower than the angels’; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.”
How can it be Jesus fully experienced the spiritual death we all deserve? Logically this extends to the penalty for my personal sins. Not only me but every individual who lives, has lived and will live in the future. The text does not say he suffered a death for generic sin but for individual sin. Almighty God is a wonder. He sustains the physical universe yet knows the secrets of every person’s heart.
Oh Lord! You are a mighty God. I cannot comprehend your reach, nor you love. You know my heart better than I. It is a comfort knowing you oversee the smallest details of my existence. I can trust you to lead me in the best way, along the only path to you, the focus of eternal bliss.
