Message: The Letter to the Hebrews
Text: Hebrews 2:5-9
The curse and the cure of sin—death
Genesis 2:16-17, Romans 6:23
The only way Jesus could suffer death is to be made like us, who are under the curse of death, because of our sin.
The application first…
Your life is the most you have. No one can give more than their life, or their death. Life and death is the ultimate. The death of Jesus takes away the lesser options.
Reconsider casual Christianity
Justice + Mercy = Grace.
Justice was poured out on Jesus. Grace is poured out on us. Grace isn’t fair…that’s the point.
Jesus is always reaching down, waiting for you to reach up.
