Hebrews 2:15 - John Wesley's Notes

Hebrews 2:15

13 And again:
^a“I will put My trust in Him.” And again:
^b“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He ^aHimself likewise shared in the same, ^bthat through death He might destroy him who had the power of ^cdeath, that is, the devil,

15 and release those who ^athrough fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For indeed He does not¹ give aid to angels, but He does² give aid to the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore, in all things He had ^ato be made like His brethren, that He might be ^ba merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

18 ^aFor in that He Himself has suffered, being¹ tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Hebrews 2:15

And deliver them, as many as through fear of death were all their lifetime, till then, subject to bondage - Every man who fears death is subject to bondage; is in a slavish, uncomfortable state. And every man fears death, more or less, who knows not Christ: death is unwelcome to him, if he knows what death is. But he delivers all true believers from this bondage.
