Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:14

Christ robbing death of its terrors. I. OBSERVE A REASON FOR THE INCARNATION . When we look at all the Son of God achieved by the Incarnation, we see what an eminently reasonable thing it was. This seems to be forgotten by those who stumble at what they feel sure is a natural impossibility—that Jesus should have come into the world as he did. But if great ends were achieved by the Son of God thus stooping from his glory, entering the world as a babe, living a human life and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:14-15

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of (literally, have been, made partakers of; i.e. so made as to share alike), blood and flesh (this is the order of the words, as in Ephesians 6:12 , according to the great preponderance of authority; Delitzsch sees in it a reference to "the blood-shedding for the sake of which the Savior entered into the fellowship of bodily life with us") , he also himself likewise (rather, in like manner; i.e. with "the children") took part in the... read more

The incarnation of the Son of God. "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers," etc. I. THE GREAT FACT OF THE INCARNATION OF THE SON OF GOD . "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same." These words suggest: 1. The reality of our Lord ' s human nature. He partook of our flesh and blood. His body was real, and not merely phenomenal. His physical experiences—e.g., weariness,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:14-18

Here we have stated the sublime results of the incarnation and death of Christ in their influence upon the present temptation and death of believers. Our Lord did not assume an angelic nature, which would have necessarily set him at some distance from us, since the experiences of those sinless and exalted beings would have been to some degree inconceivable by us. He took hold of the seed of Abraham, and enshrined his Divine nature in human flesh and blood, and felt all the innocent... read more

Since they are men, he became a man. There was a fitness or propriety that he should partake of their nature; see the 1 Corinthians 15:50 note; Matthew 16:17 note.He also himself, ... - He also became a man, or partook of the same nature with them; see the notes at John... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:15

And deliver them - Not all of them “in fact,” though the way is open for all. This deliverance relates:(1) To the dread of death. He came to free them from that.(2) From death itself - that is, ultimately to bring them to a world where death shall be unknown. The dread of death may be removed by the work of Christ, and they who had been subject to constant alarms on account of it may be brought to look on it with calmness and peace; and ultimately they will be brought to a world where it will... read more

Forasmuch then as the children Believers, who are Christ’s spiritual seed; are partakers of flesh and blood Of human nature with all its infirmities; he also took part of the same See on Philippians 2:8; that through his own death, he might destroy the tyranny of him that had By God’s permission; the power of death The power of bringing death on all mankind by tempting our first parents to sin.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-18

Christ’s humanity and suffering (2:5-18)Jews considered that human beings were inferior to angels. They therefore wondered how Jesus Christ could be superior to angels when in fact he was a man.The writer points out that this human status of inferiority to angels is only temporary. God’s original purpose was that human beings should rule over all things, but because of sin they lost this authority and are themselves in need of salvation (5-8). Jesus Christ, in order to save them, took their... read more
