Hebrews 2:1-4 & My Favorite Author

There are some authors that I love and appreciate so much that I try to read nearly everything they write.  I rarely hesitate to buy a book by Piper, Carson, Mahaney, Driscoll, or Lewis.  It’s like walking by an appetizer tray, you just gotta.

Commenting on this passage Calvin wrote, “The import of the whole is this, that the higher the dignity of Christ is than that of angels, the more reverence is due the gospel than to the law.  Thus he commends the doctrine by mentioning the author.”  The law is precious, it is the word of God, it is holy and too often neglected.  We should not demean or make little of the law in any way.  Seek to put it upon the highest shelf of your heart.  It reveals Christ to us in shadows and shows us our deep need for Him.  So place it high as the Holy Word of God and then realize that the gospel is its fulfillment and climax, thereby placing it on top.  If the word of God delivered through angels (Psalm 68:15-17; Acts 7:38, 53; Galatians 3:19) is so precious, what of His supreme Word Jesus?

When it comes to the message of Jesus Christ, you just gotta.
