ISB ~ Hebrews 2 v1 - 18

Hebrews 1 established the exaltation of Christ above the angels; Hebrews 2 looks back on the humiliation of Christ when he stooped lower than the angels. There is also a contrast between the angels as mediators of the Old Covenant and the Lord Jesus as the mediator of the New Covenant (2:1-4). Later chapters will show that Christ is superior to other covenant mediators, such as Moses and Joshua (chaps. 3-4), as well as Aaron and the Levitical priests (chaps. 5-7).
