The Author of Salvation - Part 1 (Hebrews 2:10-16)
Bob Schultz, October 4, 2015Part of the Book of Hebrews series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This week we continue our study in Hebrews by looking at 2:10-16 as the writer continues to explain the reality of who Christ is so that they would truly place their faith in Him and be saved. In this passage specifically, the writer presents Jesus as the author of salvation, the sanctifier of the saved, and the only source of victory over Satan.
Hebrews 2:10–16 (Listen)
10 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. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,
“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
14 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, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.
