Mark A. Copeland<br />

b. “<strong>To</strong> make propitiation for the sins of the people”<br />

c. We read later that the role of high priest involved offering gifts and sacrifices for sin<br />

- He 5:1<br />

B. HE IS ABLE TO AID THOSE WHO ARE TEMPTED...<br />

1. He too has suffered, and been tempted, though we learn later He remained without sin<br />

- He 4:15<br />

2. Such suffering makes Him compassionate - cf. He 5:2<br />

3. <strong>The</strong>refore those who come to Him can expect to receive mercy and grace in time of need!<br />

- cf. He 4:16<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

1. What angel has accomplished such things as...<br />

a. Regain man’s lost dominion?<br />

b. Bring many sons to glory?<br />

c. Disarm Satan, and deliver us from the fear of death?<br />

d. Become a sympathetic high priest?<br />

2. All these things (and certainly much more) Jesus has done by virtue of becoming man...<br />

a. Yes, He became “a little lower than the angels”<br />

b. But in so doing, even His humanity makes Him far superior to angels!<br />

3. With the first two chapters, then, we see the superiority of Jesus...<br />

a. Over the prophets, as God’s perfect spokesman<br />

b. Over the angels, by virtue of His deity and His humanity<br />

-- Why should we ever want to turn our back on such a Savior?<br />

We have also seen that Jesus, who was tempted, who has suffered and tasted death for everyone, is not<br />

ashamed to call us “brethren”. Are we ashamed to call Him “Lord”? Are we willing to serve Him as<br />

“Lord”?<br />
