Christ Lowered and Exalted (v. 5-9)

The world subjected “not to angels” but to the “son of Man”, i.e. humanity

More specifically to the son of man, the Human, Jesus Christ

Here but not yet: Christ exalted, but not all yet in subjection

Tension of Ps 110 and Ps 8

Exalted because of death (διὰ τὸ πάθημα τοῦ θανάτου)

Gospel model: humility leads to honor, the last shall be first

This God not afraid to be amongst His people

Contrast to pagan gods

Our first and eldest brother, Jesus Christ

God’s assumption of humanity

Athanasius: Man’s eyes turned downward to look for a god, so God came down as man to draw their attention back upward

By sharing in our nature, God could redeem our nature

A high priest must be like those he represents

Christ’s likeness to us and brotherhood with us is precisely what allows him to help lead us onward to glory

Athanasius: “The Son of God became man so that we might become God.”
