Hebrews 2:5-18 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6?But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7?Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8?Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9?But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10?For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11?For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12?Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13?And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14?Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15?And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16?For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17?Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18?For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Two days until Christmas day. Not two shopping days, not two days to get ready for the family dinner, not two days until you give and open gifts. There are just two days before the world stops and remembers God’;s greatest gift to man, God’s greatest gift to us (Christians). Two days until Christmas. On this Christmas get up a little early and spend some time alone with the Bible and in prayer. Give thanks for what God has given before you forget Jesus in the busy day. Thank Him for taking a place lower than the angels, thank Him for coming to this sin cursed world, thank Him for leaving heaven above, thank Him for a perfect and sinless life, thank Him for dying on the cross, thank Him for raising from the grave, thank Him for His place in heaven now for us. Take some time and thank Jesus. Read and meditate upon the Scripture above and thank Jesus for visiting us.
