Made Like His Brothers: Application

0 Comments

Yesterday, Don DeVries preached the second message of our series on the Incarnation. From Hebrews 2:14-18, Don showed us that “Christ’s humanity enabled him to fulfill God’s saving purposes and to meet man’s ultimate need.”

You can listen online or download the message here.

Application questions:

1.  Don’s main point from Hebrews 2:10-18 is that Christ’s humanity enabled Him to fulfill God’s saving purposes and to meet man’s ultimate need.  Why is salvation impossible without the incarnation?

2.  Death is a reality for all of humanity, yet so many in our culture try to avoid any thought of death, or they process it in superficial ways. How does the knowledge that Christ came and died for our sins truly free us from the fear of death?

3.  Why is the word “propitiation” so significant for Christians?  How did Christ’s humanity make it possible for him to take God’s wrath from us?

4.  Because of Christ’s humanity and death, the way is opened for us to receive ongoing help.  In what ways are you facing temptations and challenges right now where you need the help of Christ?
