The Book of Hebrews – Heb 2:10-15 “We Ought to Give the More Earnest Heed” – Part 3
Heb 2:10-15 “We Ought to Give the More Earnest Heed” – Part 3
[Study Aired June 11, 2020]
“We ought to give the more earnest heed” as the body of Christ to what it is God has called us.
Php 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; [Mat 13:16]
As believers, we are God’s workmanship being created in Christ Jesus (Eph 2:10, 1Jn 4:17) who are doing a work (Php 2:13) that requires that we not only believe (Joh 6:28-29), as many are convinced that there is a God and believe (Jas 2:19, Rev 12:9, 2Co 4:4), but also understand that our belief must be accompanied with much tribulation in order to enter into the kingdom (Act 14:22). We enter into the kingdom by dying daily, which is another way of saying, “Nevertheless not my will, not my lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes and pride of life will, but your will be done” (Luk 22:42, 1Jn 2:16-17).
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. [Tit 3:8]
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Joh 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world [within and without]: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
[We can believe in God, but until the devil is cast out, his influence and control of our hearts will prevent us from being a tree that brings forth fruit unto perfection (Luk 8:14). We cannot do the works of God to the glory of God until Christ casts Satan out of our heavens (how that is being accomplished in the church – Luk 10:18, 2Th 2:8, Mat 24:27)
Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be]
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
We are dying daily in this earnest relationship that we have with our Father and Christ (Eph 1:14) and are not neglecting so great a salvation by stirring up His spirit within us (Heb 2:3, 2Ti 1:6-7) as we use the “gifts” “administrations” and “operations” spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12:4-27 in order “to give the more earnest heed” as the body of Christ who are bringing “the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God”, to others in hope that this gospel message “should shine unto them”. We are not wrestling against flesh and blood and should not be (Joh 21:22) but against powers and principalities of which Christ is much higher (Eph 1:21) and can give us dominion over through the brightness of His coming into our heavens. Christ is winning that wrestling match within us (Eph 6:12, Gen 32:24).
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
2Ti 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
God’s will is being accomplished in the lives of those who have been called to lose their life, so they can “abideth for ever”. Many people believe they are losing their life for Christ, but unless we are losing our life “for my sake”, for Christ’s body’s sake, our labor is yet in vain (Psa 127:1). If we love our body and not the things of this world, it will be demonstrated by our obedience to God’s commandments. Very few have been called to a lifetime of obediently saying, “Not my will but your will be done,” and that obedience and trust in God is learned through suffering and accompanied with this promise for those whom Christ is setting free from sin in this life (Joh 8:36). “I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.”
Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Whatever became Christ should also become his body as well, so in the first verse we read how it became Christ who through suffering that the captain of our salvation would bring many sons unto glory (Heb 2:10). Those kinds of first fruit sons (Jas 1:18) who are first brought to glory are the kings and priests (1Pe 2:9) whom Christ is sanctifying in this life (Joh 17:17) so that they can be a body that is fitly framed together to the glory of God. They will be saviors who will come up on mount Zion in the first resurrection and who will be instrumental in saving the world by the same sanctification process that we as brethren are blessed to go through first in this life (Eph 1:12). “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.”
In this study we’ll look at how Christ’s suffering and the body of Christ’s sufferings are interconnected from the foundation of the world and how the living sacrifice, which we are (Rom 12:1), is just as much for the world’s sake as was the living sacrifice of Christ when He was in this earthen vessel where the treasure of His life is now residing within the church.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Lev 14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: [Rom 6:11, Heb 10:10, Gal 2:20]
Lev 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
Lev 14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. (Joh 17:15-16)Col 1:27 to whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
The captain of our salvation became “perfect through suffering“, through taking part of the same flesh we have (Heb 4:15), and it was needful for Christ to be in flesh, typified in God’s word as “the shadow of the valley of death” (Psa 23:4). Through this experience of living in ‘death valley’ “he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.”
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
The devil’s function in this life is to control the hearts and minds of those who are in flesh and not yet of God (Joh 8:44-47, Rom 8:9), and only by the grace and faith of Christ (Eph 2:8-9) have we come to learn that we can overcome [falling seven times (Pro 24:16)] the very persistent adversary the Lord has given us to overcome through Christ (1Jn 4:4).
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Joh 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Joh 8:47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Forgetting what is behind us and pressing toward the mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ is how we are going to overcome the enemy (Php 3:13-15). Not letting our past control us because of past offences, for what we may have gloried, or for what we may be deeply ashamed: this is what Christ is able to give us the power to overcome. In fact that is how he is “bringing many sons unto glory” starting with the weak of the world to demonstrate that no one throughout history can overcome except through Christ, “for whom are all things, and by whom are all things.” He can and will make His strength perfect through those who have been predetermined from the foundation of the world to have this happen.
Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2Co 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2Co 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
2Co 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. [Gal2:20]2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; “that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” [Heb 2:14, Col 1:24, Col 1:27].
God’s elect have been called in this age to learn that through Christ we can and will overcome the things “for whom are all things, and by whom are all things” (Eph 1:11) that Christ made to demonstrate His power in those few at first who were called and chosen to overcome the bondage in which flesh naturally has us walking “who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” unless the son of man sets us free (Joh 8:36).
That bondage is the subject at hand in this section of Hebrews and how through Christ who is working “in the midst of the church” is giving us the power to overcome “the power of death, that is, the devil“, who we can and will overcome. Notice it is in the midst of the church, and it is through Christ, that we can endure the suffering we go through in order to go on to perfection on the third day (Luk 13:32). Prophecy tells us, through the mouth of Christ himself, that it is “in the midst of the church” where true overcoming is occurring through Christ and nowhere else (Mat 16:4). No sign is given to this evil and adulterous generation out of which we are called but the symbolic sign of Jonas that points to the church, to those who come to know the power of the resurrection in this life and overcome the devil by hearing the voice of the true shepherd and being led by our Lord (Rom 8:14-16), and this is all happening “in the midst of the church” (Mat 12:40, Jer 22:29) and is the reason we “sing praises unto thee” (Psa 107:31).
Mat 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jer 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Psa 107:31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Christ is in us as our hope of glory who gives us the victory over sin, and its wages which are death (Rom 6:23), and as the bride of Christ we are more than conquerors through Him (Rom 8:31-39). We become that witness that is given to this evil generation without, once we are given to see the evil generation within us that is guilty of all and must be destroyed by the brightness of His coming.
Luk 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
We declare Christ’s name “unto my brethren” when we are amongst those who are being sanctified by the one who is doing that sanctification through the church (1Co 6:14, Eph 2:6, Joh 17:17-18, Eph 3:10). When Christ does these great works through each of us both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Php 2:13), a great and dynamic witness unfolds that moves us or quickens us (Joh 6:63) and gives us the boldness (Eph 6:19, Act 4:31) to “declare thy name unto my brethren” thy name meaning thy words, and thy works which is the true gospel of Jesus Christ that we are not ashamed of because it is the power of God (Rom 1:16) and the reason “I sing unto thee“. That singing is part of our spiritual worship and praise unto God when it is spiritual songs that are acknowledging the wonderful works that God is doing unto the children of men “in the midst of the church” (Col 3:16).
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together [Eph 1:14, Rom 8:18-19], and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Christ was the first to put His absolute trust in our Father, and God’s elect are the first to “trust in him” (Eph 1:12) being like Christ (1Jn 4:17) who was the forerunner who trusted God and was fashioned through the suffering that he endured for our sakes (Php 2:7, 2Co 4:15). That fashioning experience was at the hand of our Father who said it pleased Him to bruise Christ knowing that bruising was the essential part of His ministry. It is why “he also himself likewise took part of the same“, the same flesh and blood experience so that while on this earth, by the power God gave him, “he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil“. The devil is not literally destroyed, but the works that he does and the attempt to corrupt Christ and His Christ is what is being destroyed, the gates of hell not prevailing, witnessing of His great power working in the lives of those who are being saved today (Mat 16:18). Satan’s ultimate destruction will be in the lake of fire that will bring about the new creation in him (Rev 20:10).
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Christ put off His flesh and was given the power to lay down his life and learned obedience by the thing that he suffered (Joh 10:18, Heb 5:8) and now by the power of the holy spirit we are partaking of the same afflictions of Christ filling up what is behind of his afflictions so that “through death”, through dying daily (1Co 15:31), we can through Christ in us “destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” It is “I and the children which God hath given me” who are accomplishing this act of overcoming in this age and the certainty of our being able to overcome through him “I and the children which God hath given me” is declared by Christ himself (Joh 18:9, Joh 10:28).
Joh 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Christ did not just partake of just any fleshly experience, but rather His experience was tailored and written in a book for the rest of humanity, just as the elect’s experience is for the sake of the rest of God’s creation (1Pe 4:18, 1Jn 4:17). Christ was deeply bruised for all of us, and the church was prophesied to experience that same bruising for the revealing of many hearts (We have been called to identify and experience what Christ experienced – Isa 53:3-10, 1Jn 4:17, Luk2:35).
His experience was in the midst of the ‘earth, earth, earth’ and was such so that He could identify with the church, His body (Eph 5:29), that is likened unto the great fish that swallowed Jonah and was directed by our great Creator so we can fill up what is behind of His affliction. We learn through this experience of residing in corruptible flesh that we must be bound to the altar (Psa 118:27) or carried about in the great fish which typifies our lack of free moral agency. God’s elect experience what we are going through as a kind of first fruits in the church, so that we can learn to be fishers of men (Mat 4:19), toward all those who are dragged to Christ in this age (Joh 6:44) and ultimately toward the whole sea of humanity who God will deliver through the church (1Co 15:22).
We are being blessed to bring all our thoughts into subjection to God through Christ (2Co 10:5), all the smaller and greater creatures inside of us into subjection unto Christ now [the nations within], so that one day we can be instrumental in ruling and reigning over the nations without who will be saved through the knowledge God will bring to them through the church (Oba 1:21, Eph 1:11, Act 17:28, 1Ti 4:16). We are learning today that God does the dragging and converting and is teaching us to “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” Each man in his appointed time will hear Christ and His Christ (1Jn 4:6).
These verses are a prophecy of Christ and His body:
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? [Luk 11:51] for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isa 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed [Gal 4:27], he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Luk 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
Oba 1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
We are learning that we have a deliverer through Christ who understands our weaknesses and is able to make His strength perfect through them, provided we are granted to suffer with him in this age (2Ti 2:12, Php 1:29, Act 14:22). It it through that suffering that we will learn to no longer lean unto our own understanding as we grow in our trust of the living God who is able to deliver us from this body of death to which we have to spend our life in bondage (2Co 1:9-10). That bondage is perfectly understood by our Father and Christ, who is the mediator as we cry out (1Ti 2:5, Heb 5:7) and come boldly before the throne of God to obtain help in time of need (Rom 8:22-24, Heb 4:16).
It is “all their lifetime” and it was all Christ’s lifetime that He had to overcome and endure until the end in order to be saved (Mat 24:13). Christ did not save himself (Mat 27:40, Joh 5:30). The Father saved him, and now He can and will save us by the same power by which He was saved by God (Mat 20:23, Joh 11:25, Php 3:10).
2Co 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2Co 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Mat 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Next week, Lord willing, we will finish off chapter two of Hebrews as we look at our connection to Christ in the flesh which must mature into a relationship of not knowing Him after the flesh if we are going to go unto perfection to effectively become “the ministry of reconciliation” to which we have been called.
2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
