Hebrews 2:16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. You remember that happy story of the wild child who could never be won till the little lady sat down by her, and laid her hand upon her. Eva won poor Topsy by that tender touch. The tongue failed, but the hand achieved the victory. So was it with our adorable Lord. He showed us that He was bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh; He brought Himself into contact with us, and made us perceive the reality of His love to us, and then He became more than a conqueror over us. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.WEB: For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham. |
