Hebrews 2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?…
9 But we see Jesus… crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Because Christ, "1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:" Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." Can we ignore such a great salvation? God spoke through many means throughout the old testament pointing the way to a Savior. That Savior came to provide the only atonement that might once and for all conquer sin and death for all who would accept Christ’s atonement for their sin and by faith join Christ as His brother (purchased and adopted by His shed blood) to share in His Glory. He who was crowned with glory, honor, and righteousness came to this earth to suffer, endure temptation (though without sin) and die that as our chief High Priest and captain–there is no pain or suffering that we might face which he has not faced. You might want to say that since He never sinned, He never suffered guilt; but He carried our guilt on the cross when God the Father turned His back upon Him because God could not look upon our sin laid upon Him. You might want to say that Christ did not suffer during the temptations since He was God and incapable of sinning. Not true. Temptation and the torment of it continues until we give in and then the turmoil of the temptation goes away for a moment. Christ, in His humanity felt the turmoil of temptation with no relief of the turmoil as He did not give in. He who owns all things, created all things, filled with brightness of Glory; laid it all aside so that He might suffer and die so that we (so undeserving) might have an empathetic high priest who understands our every turmoil and so that we might be loosed from the chains of sin and death forever. How could we ever escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
