  • Hebrews 1:13.
  • Hebrews 1:14 under the Old Covenant rendered service for the sake of those who would be saved, in contrast to the work Jesus would accomplish for those who would be saved. This does not mean that angels have any duties under the New Covenant. There is no support here for the popular idea that we all have guardian angels.
  • Hebrews 2:5-8. “Son of man” here is simply referring to man, not Jesus. God originally put all things under man’s feet, but man sinned and was punished, thus the need for Jesus to come to earth.
  • Hebrews 2:10 - Jesus was perfected in the sense of completing His sacrifice for us. He was already perfect and sinless.
  • Hebrews 2:14 - Jesus rendered the devil powerless in that we can resist the devil and he will have no power over us.
