Salvation (3 of 4)
Series: The Incarnation
Marion Clark
Hebrews 2:10-18
Introduction
In the first two messages on the incarnation, we considered the wonder of the greatness of our God. Who is like our God who is three persons in one - God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - who, in the second person - God the Son - possesses two natures - the divine and the human? Jesus Christ is God the Son - God and yet distinct from God as the Father; he is the Son of God and the Son of Man; fully God and fully man; possessing two natures that are not confused with one another. Trying to grasp the implications of what the incarnation teaches about God and Jesus Christ is indeed mind-boggling.
But what about the implications for us? We've explored a little what the incarnation is; now we turn our attention to why the incarnation occurred. Why was Jesus incarnated? What purpose did it serve? The answer is salvation. The Son of God took on human nature that he might save us humans from the guilt of our sins. The rest of this sermon and examination of our text simply explores this truth.
Here is the context for our scripture passage. The writer to the Hebrews opens his letter exalting Jesus Christ as the Son of God. He demonstrates how much greater the Son is than the angels. The great act of the Son was to deliver the message of salvation to mankind. Man was made to be glorious and to have dominion over the earth, but that did not happen and man instead became subject to death. Therefore Jesus, the Son, tasted death for man. Our passage discusses what was involved in bringing salvation, which is defined as bringing many sons to glory in verse 10. The writer presents Christ as Deliverer who rescues his people from slavery and as Priest who reconciles God and man.
Let's look first at Christ as Deliverer. Verses 14 and 15 read: 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the ...
