Commentary
Hebrews 2 is a powerful reminder of the importance of Jesus’s mission and the need for us to pay attention to the warnings of Scripture. The author begins by reminding us that God has spoken through the prophets and that we should take heed to their warnings. He then goes on to explain that Jesus was sent to be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God. He was sent to make atonement for the sins of the people and to bring them into a right relationship with God.
