So That by the Grace of God He Might Taste Death for Everyone

Heb.2:9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
How very deep these words are! Jesus suffered death for everyone. Even the people who will deny Him. Please, don't be among the ones who will suffer damnation forever. Jesus is the only way for salvation. He took the form of a man, with all his emotions and will, but He was still almighty God.
Heb.2:10-15  For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, "I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise." And again, "I will put my trust in him."And again, "Behold, I and the children God has given me." Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.Holy God sent His Son to be the only acceptable sacrifice for the propitiation of our sins.Definition of propitiation: satisfaction before God, appeasementHeb.2:17-18  Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.By the power of Your Word Lord, every knee will bow before You. Amen
