Hebrews 2:1018
Amen. Hebrews, quite a book. I hope you have your Bibles open to the second chapter.
Hebrews Chapter Number 2. This morning we'll look at verse 9 through verse 18 through the

the one who carried out the principles and the precepts and the judgements of God; therefore,
for the Messiah to become a man was a big thing for the Hebrew mind. And then for that
Messiah who became a man to die was more ...
