| From the Geneva Notes.
Chapter 2.
 | "The
purpose of this epistle, is to show that Jesus Christ the Son of God
both God and man is that true eternal and only Prophet, King and High
Priest, that was shadowed by the figures of the old law, and is now
indeed exhibited of whom the whole Church ought to be taught, governed
and sanctified." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
Chapter 2.
| "We never
can be thankful enough that God has in so many ways, and with such
increasing clearness, spoken to us fallen sinners concerning salvation.
That he should by himself cleanse us from our sins is a wonder of love
beyond our utmost powers of admiration, gratitude, and praise." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes. Chapter 2.
| "The
angels do not inherit all things, but are themselves a portion of the
Son's inheritance, whom they worship as their Lord." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the
Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
Chapter 2.
| "The Son
is the last and highest manifestation of God (Mt
21:34, 37); not merely a measure, as in the prophets, but the
fulness of the Spirit of God dwelling in Him bodily (Joh
1:16; 3:34; Col 2:9). Thus he answers the Jewish objection drawn
from their prophets. Jesus is the end of all prophecy (Re
19:10), and of the law of Moses (Joh
1:17; 5:46)." |
|
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
Chapter 2.
| "In
Christ we have a tangible, visible representation of the substance of
God. We see God in him. "He that hath seen me hath seen the
Father" (John
14:9)." |

"First
Thoughts on Passages on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary,"
Christmas Day 2, William Loader, Murdoch
University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Our ultimate trust is in God amid all
adversity. Dealing with deep seated fears, whatever their mythology, is a
way of liberating people." |
|
|
Hebrews 1:1 - 2:4,
Roger Hahn, Voice Bible Studies, Christian Resource Institute.
| "Lack of concern, apathy, lack of
intense commitment is the plague of our churches and our lives. There will
come a time in the drifting when it is too late to anchor the soul again.
The current will have become swift and our lack of concern will have let
us drift past the point of return." |

"Christ Made
Perfect through Suffering,"
Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible

textual notes. |

"Hebrews
2:3-4 and the Sign Gifts," by Daniel B. Wallace, Associate Professor of New
Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary.
| "All in all, Hebrews
2:3-4 seems to involve some solid inferences that the sign gifts had for
the most part ceased. Further, it offers equally inferential evidence of
the purpose of the sign gifts: to confirm that God was doing something
new." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Passages on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Pentecost 18," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "...Hebrews holds together a profound
image of Jesus as God's very reflection with a very earthy and human
figure just like us. That reinforces also our understanding of God and of
the spiritual life not as something from or in another world, but as
something which fully enters the here and now of flesh and blood." |

African Religion," John Mbiti, The Christian Century, 1980. At Religion
Online.
| "I find the traditional Western
distinction between 'special revelation'
and 'general revelation'
to be inadequate and unfreeing. This is not a biblical distinction. If
they are two wavelengths, they make sense only when they move toward a
convergence. When this happens, then a passage such as Hebrews 1:1-3 rolls
down like mighty waters, full of exciting possibilities of theological
reflection." |

"Gezerah Shawah as Analogy in the Epistle to the Hebrews," David H.
Wenkel, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2007.
| "As an analogy it is argued that gezerah
shawah relies on verbal relationships. When two verses with an identical
word or words are connected, the rest of the quotation is relevant to the
New Testament writer's interpretation." |
