So Great A Salvation
The Elevation of Jesus Christ
Michael Romero
Hebrews 2:5-3:2a
2006
Introduction:
If you have been with us the last two weeks you'll remember that we have been discussing from the book of Hebrews the supremacy of Jesus Christ and how He is exalted far above the angels who, like us, are made to glorify and worship Him.
At the beginning of chapter two we found the words "For this reason" which meant that in light of a better messenger than the angels that the correct response was not to neglect such a great salvation but to believe it, live it, and confirm the good news of Jesus Christ to those who have not heard.

2. Mans Glory is Restored
3. Mans Enemy is Defeated
4. Mans Relationship is Reconciled
I want us to start with the first exciting and amazing bit of news and that is that,
I. Mans Dominion Is Redeemed
Let's read in Hebrews chapter two beginning in verse 5

Christ did not die for them. They are still going to be in positions that allow them to "assist" the King but not reign over His kingdom.
Then the argument is made that God has put is eyes on us and given us the privilege of His care and concern.
Hebrews 2:6 (NASB95)
