Hebrews 2:5-9
Jesus, though made lower than the angels for a time, fulfills humanity's lost dominion through suffering and is now crowned as the true ruler of the world to come.
5 For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
6 But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet.
9 But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.
Jesus, though made lower than the angels for a time, fulfills humanity's lost dominion through suffering and is now crowned as the true ruler of the world to come.
To show that the coming world belongs not to angels but to Christ, who fulfills humanity's intended dominion through suffering and exaltation.
Do Not Drift from the Son Who Became Our Brother and High Priest
The exalted Son became truly human, suffered death, defeated death's enslaving fear, made atonement for sins, and now helps his tempted people as their merciful and faithful high priest.
