히브리서 2:3-5 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:3

God's sure judgment on those who neglect the great salvation. I. NOTE THE APPEAL TO HISTORY . In the history of the Hebrew people God had shown the validity and seriousness of his messages. Those to whom the message had come had been disposed to slight it, either because of the improbability of the matter, or the mean appearance of the messenger. And behind both of these considerations it might also be that the message was very unpalatable. But however the message might appear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:3-4

The completeness with which the great salvation is made known. The justness of God's visitation on those who neglect the great salvation lies in this, that the salvation has been so fully and variously proclaimed. Certainly this held in the instance of all to whom this Epistle was addressed; certainly it holds of all who can read the New Testament. With the Testament before us, it is our business, as prudent people, to make ourselves acquainted with the explanations, assurances,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:4

God also bearing them witness ; rather, God attesting with them. The word is συνεπιμαρτυροῦντος , a double compound, meaning to attest jointly with others. The idea is that the hearers of "the Lord" testified, and God attested their testimony by the signs that accompanied their ministry. The passage is instructive as expressing the grounds of acceptance of the gospel. Its truth was already "confirmed" to believers by the testimony of unimpeachable witnesses to that which, so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5

Here the second division of the first section of the argument, according to the summary given above ( Hebrews 1:2 ), begins. But it is also connected logically with the interposed exhortation, the sequence of thought being as follows: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?"— For (as an additional reason) not to angels (but to the Sou, as will be seen) did he (God) subject the world to come, whereof we speak , "The world to come ( ἡ οἰκουμένη ἡ μέλλουσα )"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-9

The royalty of man. The apostle, in beginning to touch upon the humiliation and death of Christ, shows that these arrangements brought him no dishonor. God had subordinated the new dispensation, not to angels, but to man ( Hebrews 2:5 ); and human nature, restored in Christ to its imperial dignity, is destined to ultimate exaltation above angelic nature. I. MAN 'S NATIVE SOVEREIGNTY . The writer cites, in illustration of this, the testimony of Psalms 8:1-9 . ( Psalms 8:6-8 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-9

The Divine destiny for man. "For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection," etc. The writer now resumes the subject of the exaltation of the Son of God over the holy angels. He proceeds to show that in that human nature in which he suffered death, he is raised to supreme glory and authority, and that man also is exalted in and through him. Notice— I. THE DESTINY FOR WHICH MAN WAS CREATED . In certain aspects of his being man seems to be an insignificant creature, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-9

The human nature of our Lord foreshadowed and his sovereignty over all things realized through his sufferings and death. The author pursues his argument, which is to show the indisputable superiority of our Lord to the angels, unto whom the kingdom of grace is not made subject. In the quotation from the eighth psalm there is declared the condescension and goodness of God towards man in appointing him to be the lord and ruler of creation. When Jehovah pronounced the blessing upon Noah and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-10

The dignity of human nature shows that the Incarnation was not degrading to the Godhead. The apostle proceeds with his argument broken off at end of the first chapter. The first chapter deals with the Deity of Christ; the second with his humanity; thus the Epistle is based on the fact of the dual nature of our Lord. Having spoken of the Godhead of Christ, he has to meet the objection which presented itself with great force to the Hebrews. Why should this glorious Being stoop to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:3

How shall we escape - How shall we escape the just recompense due to transgressors? What way is there of being saved from punishment, if we suffer the great salvation to be neglected, and do not embrace its offers? The sense is, that there is no other way of salvation, and the neglect of this will be followed by certain destruction. why it will, the apostle proceeds to show, by stating that this plan of salvation was proclaimed first by the Lord himself, and had been confirmed by the most... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:4

God also bearing them witness - By miracles. Giving them the sanction of his authority, or showing that they were sent by him. No man can work a miracle by his own power. When the dead are raised, the deaf made to hear and the blind to see by a word, it is the power of God alone that does it. He thus becomes a “witness” to the divine appointment of him by whose instrumentality the miracle is performed; or furnishes an attestation that what he says is true; see notes on Acts 14:3.With signs and... read more
