Charles Spurgeon Commentary Hebrews 2:9

"But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man]." — Hebrews 2:9 (ASV)

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.

Thus lifting man back into the place where he first stood so far as this matter of dominion is concerned.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour;

We see that by faith. We see Jesus, not merely as God, but as the God-man exalted far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion.

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.

Oh, how glorious it is to realize our position in Christ, and to see how He has lifted us up, not merely to the place from which the first Adam fell, but He has made us stand so securely there that we shall not again descend to the ruins of the Fall! Glory be to His holy name!

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

Oh, children of God, some of you have been more than forty years now in the Lord's service: do not vex Him. You have long been called out of Egypt and brought into the separate place in this wilderness world: be careful to be fit for the Divine indwelling.
