TS: The book of Hebrews clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is supperior.
HE is the eternal creator of heaven and earth.
He is greater than all the angels.
Today, we continue with the thought that He is superior to all of the human race.
Recognize that this is different.
He is superior to angels because He is God
HE created them
He is served by them.
However, He is man as well.
When Jesus took on flesh, HE limited Himself to a human body.
He is the superior man.
Adam sinned and passed that nature on to all of us.
Jesus DID NOT!
Thus He can give us His righteous nature.

RS: All the blessings of the faith are possible because of the perfection of Jesus.
Made Perfect through Suffering
Made Perfect through Suffering
For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.
For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Perfect Deliverance
Perfect Deliverance
Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.
Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
