Answer to a Correspondent.

From: Edification: Volume 6

Hebrews 2:9

Could you explain Hebrews 2:9,⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9) “By the grace of God”? Did He receive any grace from His Father when dying for us? — Skelmanthorpe.

TWICE in verse 8 is it stated that all things are put under the feet of Christ. In verse 9 we discover the amazing fact that He has suffered death for all. A very great contrast indeed! But more than this, it was the most wonderful grace. It was by the grace of God He did it. He is viewed here not so much as receiving grace from God as setting forth the grace of God.
