But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9)
Forget the authorship, only for just a moment... To whom is the book of Hebrews written?... To the Hebrews? Or was it the Jews? Who are the Hebrews? Who are the Jews? Who is are the Israelites? Who are the Greeks? Who are the Romans? Who are the Barbarians? Who are the Gentiles?
Now, I know I know..... Hebrews is also written for the Gentiles, and for the Greeks and blah, blah blah, yes, yes, yes, ok, ok, ok...I get it.... Of course it is! If not, This would make God a liar!
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (II Timothy 3:16)
To unlock the door, one must hold the key! (and know to which door the key belongs :P)
P.S.: Jesus is always the DOOR!
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*. (Romans 1:16)
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. (Hebrews 5:2)
To the Jew first, and also to the Greek...
Pax,
In Christ Jesus
