Hebrews 2:3-12

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:5

"The world to come" refers to the inhabited earth under Jesus Christ’s reign (during the Millennium and from then on; cf. Hebrews 1:8-9; Hebrews 1:11-13). Some branches of Judaism believed Michael and his angels would rule over it. [Note: Zane C. Hodges, "Hebrews," in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: New Testament, p. 783.] The angels administer the present world (Deuteronomy 32:8; Daniel 10:20-21; Daniel 12:1), but the Son will administer the world to come."This will occur at His second advent... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:5-9

D. The Humiliation and Glory of God’s SON 2:5-9Hebrews 2:5-18 present eight reasons for the incarnation of the Son: to fulfill God’s purpose for man (Hebrews 2:5-9 a), to taste death for all (Hebrews 2:9 b), and to bring many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10-13). He also came to destroy the devil (Hebrews 2:14), to deliver those in bondage (Hebrews 2:15), to become a priest for men (Hebrews 2:16-17 a), to make propitiation for sins (Hebrews 2:17 b), and to provide help for those tested (Hebrews... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:6-8

The writer interpreted this passage (Psalms 8:4-6) as Messianic. [Note: See Donald R. Glenn, "Psalms 8 and Hebrews 2 : A Case Study in Biblical Hermeneutics and Biblical Theology," in Walvoord: A Tribute, p. 44. ] There is some evidence that most of the Jews of this time did not consider Psalms 8 to be messianic. [Note: Guthrie, p. 84. See also Martin Pickup, "New Testament Interpretation of the Old Testament: The Theological Rationale of Midrashic Exegesis," Journal of the Evangelical... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:8-9

Even though believers do not yet see Jesus glorified on earth, we do see Him with the eye of faith glorified in heaven. God has crowned Jesus with glory and honor because He endured death. [Note: See Moffatt, p. 24.] He suffered death because it was God’s will for Him to taste death for every person. Suffering, introduced here, becomes a dominant theme in this epistle. This was God’s purpose in the Incarnation.Jesus Christ’s death was for everyone in that by dying He paid the penalty for the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:10

The writer proceeded to give a commentary on the last clause of Hebrews 2:9, particularly on the phrase "by the grace of God."The Son of Man is not the only One God intends to glorify (Hebrews 2:6). All of His sons, believers, will experience glorification. "Him" is God the Father. "Author" is Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. The unusual title "author" (Gr. archegos) describes Jesus as a file leader, pioneer, pathfinder, and captain of a company of followers (cf. Hebrews 12:2; Acts 3:15; Acts... read more

E. The Son’s Solidarity with Humanity 2:10-18The writer next emphasized the future glory that the Son will experience to heighten his readers’ appreciation for Him and for their own future with Him. He did this by reflecting on Psalms 8. He wanted his readers to appreciate these things so they would continue to live by faith rather than departing from God’s will (cf. James 1; 1 Peter 1). This section concludes the first major part of the writer’s address and prepares his audience for the next... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:11

"He" is probably Jesus Christ. There is great solidarity between Jesus Christ and believers. The Old Testament taught this solidarity in Psalms 22:22 (Hebrews 2:12), Isaiah 8:17 (Hebrews 2:13 a), and Isaiah 8:18 (Hebrews 2:13 b). Jesus will not feel ashamed to call sanctified believers His brethren when He leads us to glory (Hebrews 2:5; Hebrews 2:10). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:12-13

These quotations illustrate that Jesus will not blush to identify with the people of God. The emphasis in the first quotation is on the character that Jesus Christ and believers share. His death has made us holy (set us apart; cf. Hebrews 10:10; Hebrews 10:14). Consequently we can have intimate fellowship with Jesus who dwells among us (by His Spirit; cf. Exodus 25:8; Exodus 29:46).The point of the second quotation is that Jesus, as well as His followers, trusted God. This is the basis for... read more
