HEBREWS HOMEWORK

DUE WED OCT 8  Hebrews 2:4-11

 

LADIES: THIS WED, OCT 8 IS THELAST WEEK TO BRING VISITORS UNTIL THE CHRISTMAS TEA!!! Thanks for considering this!

 

 

  1. What new insight did you have re: angels from this week’s lecture (Oct 1)? List one thing.  Do you think this insight is necessary/helpful to daily life? Why/Why not?  What do you believe is the #1 misconception most unbelievers have re: angels? Most believers?

 

 

Read 2:4-11 carefully and prayerfully.

 

  1. What do you think is the author’s point in 2:5? (state it simply)..Do you think 2:6-8 (quoted from Ps 8) refers to mankind or to Jesus? How is the key to this question located at the end of v. 8?
  2. From 2:8-9..Has the name “Jesus” been used in Hebrews before this verse? Why do you think the author uses it now? Cite at least two phrases that speak of : a. the Divinity of Christ (Heb chapter 1) and b. the Humanity of Christ (Heb chapter 2)

                  Why do you think each of these aspects are important?

  1. From vs 2:8-9, how can we understand things “not” presently being subject to Him, yet that He is now “crowned with glory and honor?”
  2. What does 2:9 mean to you personally? Be specific.  Can you think of a personal area of struggle in which you need to “see Jesus?” List here for prayer/commitment.
  3. What do you think vs. 10 means when it says, it was “fitting” that God should bring Jesus to suffering? (wow!)  Look up Isaiah 53:10 and write down how this ties in.

      What do you think it means that Christ was “made perfect” through suffering? Wasn’t He already perfect in nature?

 

Extra time? (heehee) Spend a morning quiet time meditating on 2:10-11 and Isa 53 and how they tie together. Write a simple “hymn” or verse of thanks to God for His Gift of Suffering for us.
