Re: Plumb the depths of Adoption
9*But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10*For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Some of the verses in Psalms and Job, are a “taste of death”. You should be able to see Christ in this because as it says in Hebrews the Lord “tasted death for every man”. It is also beneficial for us for teaching, instruction and exhortation. In the “bringing many sons unto glory” this includes all of us entering into our inheritance. We have been called to be a royal priesthood which includes reigning (executing judgement) and interceding. To do this it is crucial to understand and empathize with the suffering of others.
