It is hard to read the book of Hebrews and not comment on every verse.  So, since I am going to be here for a while, it might be helpful if you would read along in your Bible.

In Heb. 1:4-2:1,  the writer gives us the comparison of Jesus and angels, and declares the supremacy of Jesus is without question.

In 2:2-3,  He says, "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense (punishment) of reward;   How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation…spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him."

God punished angels.  Lucifer is a prime example.  He was cast out of heaven.  And if God would do that…how do we think we can escape his punishment?

But the big word in all that is "Neglect."  Guilty, guilty, guilty.  We spend our days doing a thousand things other than tending to our salvation.  We are prone to wander.  To get distracted. We neglect God.

I am amazed as I watch the Discovery channel at the "could be's" and the "might be's' that are present in the documentaries.  We have a book full of confirmations "...spoken by the Lord…"  by multitudes that heard him.  The Bible itself is a documentary of eye witness testimonies.

Heb. 2. 9   "But we see Jesus, (through the eyes of those who heard him and touched him) who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

I really don't want to taste the kind of death that Christ did.   I'm so glad he was made lower than angels for a period of time.  Lowly, like  us.   "He tasted death for us, by the grace of God."   Grace,  Grace,  God's grace.  Grace that is greater than all our sin.
