Hebrews 2:16 For truly he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. On the centenary of the birth of Robert Stephenson there was a very large demonstration at Newcastle. The town was paraded by a vast precession who carried banners in honour of the distinguished engineer. ]n the procession there was a band of peasants, who carried a little banner of very ordinary appearance, but bearing the words, "He was one of us." They were inhabitants of the small village in which Robert Stephenson had been born, and had come to do him honour. They had a right to a prominent position in that day's proceedings, because he to whom so many thousands did honour was one of them. Even so, whatever praise the thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers can ascribe to Christ in that grand celebration when men shall be no more, we from earth can wave our banners with the words written upon it, "He was one of us." Parallel Verses KJV: For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.WEB: For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham. |
