忽略伟大的救恩不能逃罪

因此,我们必须更加密切注意所听过的道理,免得我们随流失去。 那透过天使所传讲的信息既然是确定的,所有干犯和不听从的,都受了应得的报应。 如果我们忽略了这么大的救恩,怎么能逃罪呢?这救恩起初是由主亲自宣讲的,后来听见的人给我们证实了。  神又照着自己的旨意,用神迹、奇事和各样异能,以及圣灵的恩赐,与他们一同作见证。

耶稣因受死得了荣耀尊贵

 神并没有把我们所说的“将来的世界”,交给天使管辖; 但是有人在圣经上某一处证实说:

“人算甚么,你竟记念他?

世人算甚么,你竟眷顾他?

你使他暂时成了比天使卑微(“暂时成了比天使卑微”或译:“比天使稍低微一点”),

却赐给他荣耀尊贵作冠冕,(有些古卷在此有“并立他统管你手所造的一切”一句)

使万物都服在他的脚下。”

既然万有都服了他,就没有剩下一样不服他的了。但是现在我们还没有看见万有都服他。 不过,我们看见那位暂时成了比天使卑微(“暂时成了比天使卑微”或译:“比天使稍低微一点”)的耶稣,因为受了死的痛苦,就得了荣耀尊贵作冠冕,好叫他因着 神的恩典,为万人尝了死味。

救恩的元首耶稣

10 万有因他而有、藉他而造的那位,为了要带领许多儿子进入荣耀里去,使救他们的元首借着受苦而得到成全,本是合适的。 11 因为那位使人成圣的,和那些得到成圣的,同是出于一个源头;所以他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻。 12 他说:

“我要向我的弟兄宣扬你的名,

我要在聚会中歌颂你。”

13 又说:

“我要信靠他。”

又说:

“看哪,我和 神所赐给我的孩子们。”

14 孩子们既然同有血肉之体,他自己也照样成为血肉之体,为要借着死,消灭那掌握死权的魔鬼, 15 并且要释放那些因为怕死而终身作奴仆的人。 16 其实,他并没有救援天使,只救援亚伯拉罕的后裔。 17 所以,他必须在各方面和他的弟兄们相同,为了要在 神的事上,成为仁慈忠信的大祭司,好为人民赎罪。 18 因为他自己既然经过试探,受了苦,就能够帮助那些被试探的人。

The Great Salvation

That is why we must hold on all the more firmly to the truths we have heard, so that we will not be carried away. The message given to our ancestors by the angels was shown to be true, and those who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment they deserved. How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true. At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

The One Who Leads Us to Salvation

God has not placed the angels as rulers over the new world to come—the world of which we speak. (A)Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures:

“What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them;
    mere human beings, that you should care for them?
You made them for a little while lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor,[a]
    and made them rulers over all things.”

It says that God made them “rulers over all things”; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now. But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered. 10 It was only right that God, who creates and preserves all things, should make Jesus perfect through suffering, in order to bring many children to share his glory. For Jesus is the one who leads them to salvation.

11 He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family. 12 (B)He says to God,

“I will tell my people what you have done;
    I will praise you in their meeting.”

13 (C)He also says, “I will put my trust in God.” And he also says, “Here I am with the children that God has given me.”

14 Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, 15 and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. 16 (D)For it is clear that it is not the angels that he helps. Instead, he helps the descendants of Abraham. 17 This means that he had to become like his people in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, so that the people's sins would be forgiven. 18 And now he can help those who are tempted, because he himself was tempted and suffered.
