Mark’s Memos

“… You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet." … But now we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see Jesus… crowned with glory and honor, …” (Hebrews 2:7-9;...

“God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?” (Hebrews 2:4) God bore witness to His amazing offer of salvation with supernatural signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy...

“How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, …?” (Hebrews 2:3) Notice that the book of Hebrews is being addressed to people we were in danger of ”neglecting” salvation, not ”rejecting” salvation! Of course, there are severe eternal consequences for...

“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” (Hebrews 2:1) If you don’t “give the more earnest heed” to nurturing your faith, you will experience cultural drift. If you’re in a canoe on a Minnesota lake in the summer...

“having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” (Hebrews 1:4) Some people are fascinated with angels. While angels are fascinating, even more fascinating than angels is Jesus Christ! Jesus is much...
