The Salvation We Dare Not Neglect

Hebrews 2:6

"But one in a certain place testified,

saying, what is man, that thou art

mindful of him? Or the son of

   man, that thou visitest him?"   

         In this passage there are three basic ideas. God created man, only a little less than himself, to have the mastery over all things. Man through his sin entered into defeat instead of mastery. Into this state of defeat came Jesus Christ in order that by his life and death and glory he might make man what he was meant to be.
        Let me put it another way. The Author of Book of Hebrews shows us, the ideal of what man should be (ie) kin to God and master of the universe. He shows us the actual state of man (ie) the frustration instead of the mastery, the failure instead of the glory. He shows us how the actual can be changed into the ideal through Christ. The Writer also sees in Christ the One, who by his sufferings and his glory can make, man what he was meant to be and what, without him, he could never be.
        This my friend this is what "Grace and Salvation" is about. The situation with which we are in is this. We were meant to have dominion over everything but we do not. We are frustrated by our circumstances, defeated by our temptations, surrounded about with our own weakness. Mankind, who should be free is bound; he who should be a king is a slave. For whatever else is or is not true, this one thing is certain. Man is not what he was meant to be, and never will be unless he has Jesus Christ in His heart as his personnel Saviour.
        Amen!!
