Proctor's Gems of Thought Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor… So 1 Timothy 1:14: The grace of God not simply abundant, but "exceedingly abundant." If sin flowed like a bottomless pit, an abyss never satisfied, then grace — a stronger and a fuller current, exceeding it in measure — prevailing like the waters of the Flood until the very tops of the highest mountains were covered; it fills a greater sea than the sea of iniquity; more than enough to pardon the sins of the world or of other worlds. This is the salvation which God's free grace hath brought unto all men. (Proctor's Gems of Thought.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
