Hebrews Chapter 1 and 2


1. What seems to be the main point of Chapter 1?

2. According to the text, which of the following is a role of Jesus?

a. Spokesman for God
b. Beneficiary or Heir
c. Creator
d. Representative to God
e. Superior to the angels
f. King
g. "a" and "c"
h. I see what your doing; it's all of them.

3. If this were a resume, what part would the Old Testament play? The New Testament?


Try to get a feel for the context of these verses.

Psalm 2:7; 2Samuel 7:14, 1 Chron. 17:13; Deaut. 32:43; Psalm 104:4; Psalm 45:6,7; Psalm 102:25-27; Psalm 110:1.


4. What is helpful and challenging about reading the referred to text?

Read Hebrews Chapter 2

5. According to verse 1, what is the threat to the Christian, and what is the responsability of the Christian?

Read 2 John 8,9.

6. More than baptism or predestination, what is the one thing the Christian has to absolutely get right?

7. According to Hebrews Chapter 2: 8b, what is the obvious difficulty of being a Christian?

8. Think of when you learned to swim or ride a bike or something else scary and unfamiliar. What's the advantage of someone you trust going first? How nice would it be to have an awesome older brother who is proud of you?

9. The second half of chapter 2 talks about Christ's mission on earth. Does your head hurt?

10. What is one you thing you learned in the second chapter?


Bonus:

Read Luke 22:39-46. An angel strengthens Jesus in his darkest hour. I wonder if he read Isaiah 51:17-23.

How cool is the Bible!?
