Hebrews 2:9-18
"Jesus, Disappointment, & Trust" - Hebrews 2:9-18
After the first of the five warnings of Hebrews, we are seeing that our author is desperate for his audience to keep trusting Jesus.
There is no doubt that Jesus is confusing. He heals, he raises the dead, he sets the captives free, and there is great hope in Him. But inevitably there is an unmet expectation or an unfortunate suffering that leads to doubt. "Can I really trust Jesus?"
I can assure you that this is nothing new in church history. That same savior couldn't save Himself? The one who promises glory experiences humiliation? The Jews were expecting a powerful ruler, and they got a crucified servant.....or did they?
Join me as our author and preacher tries to clear up some understanding about painful experiences and glory and the "bigger picture". If He is the Son of God, why not just save people from that position? Why become like us?
Maybe, if you understand Jesus a little more, you might be able to trust him a little more. And, there is one particular area that we, in all of our advances and technology, have been unable to conquer. What is that area and how does Jesus help?
