Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: He who sets them apart and they who are set apart “are all of one.” They are of one nature, and they have one destiny before them.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: One family; one by nature with Christ our glorious Head. Heb_2:11.

We are often ashamed of ourselves; alas! we are sometimes so base as to be ashamed of him; but he is never...

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren,.... These words, with the following clause, are cited from Psalms 22:22 as a proof of what the apostle had before asserted; and that this psalm is to be understood, not of the Jewish nation, or people of Israel, nor of Esther, nor of David, but of the Messiah, appears from the title of it,...

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praise unto thee. That is a quotation from the 22nd Psalm.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of thy church will I sing praise unto thee. The apostle was writing to Hebrews, and therefore he quoted from the books with which they were familiar. He here quotes the 22nd Psalm as the words of the Messiah.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Ver. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him,.... These words are taken not from Isaiah 8:17 where, in the Septuagint version, is a like phrase; for they are not the words of the Messiah there, but of the prophet; and besides, the apostle disjoins them from the following words, which stand there, by saying, "and again"; but they are cited from...

And again, I will put my trust in him. Thus entering into the very faith of his people.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, As you know to your cost, for perhaps you have aches and pains about you at this very moment. Verily, you are “partakers of flesh and blood.” Perhaps you are suffering from despondency and depression of spirit. If so, that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. There are some passages which we should never have thought related to the Messiah if the New Testament had not told us that they do. Hence I have no doubt that we much more often err in not seeing Christ in the Old Testament than in seeing him...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And again, I will put my trust in him. This is our Lord Jesus Christ putting his trust in the Father, overcoming by faith, even as we do. Oh, what a marvellous oneness there is here between Christ and his people! Well might the apostle say that “both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; We know what it is to be partakers of flesh and blood; we often wish that we did not. It is the flesh that drags us down; it is the flesh that brings us a thousand sorrows. I...

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,.... By the children are meant, not the children of this world, or the men of it; nor the children of the flesh, or Abraham's natural seed; nor visible professors of religion; nor the apostles of Christ only; but all the children of God, the children given to Christ; all the sons that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. He so took upon himself flesh and blood as to die in our nature, that thus he might slay death, and might set us free from...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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; — By his own death, Christ broke that evil power which brought death into the world with its long trail of woe. He did this, not by his example,...

That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; That, through dying, he might overthrow Satan’s power for all who trust him.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And deliver them, who through fear of death,.... This is another end of Christ's assuming human nature, and dying in it, and thereby destroying Satan, that he might save some out of his hands: [who] were all their lifetime subject to bondage; meaning chiefly God's elect among the Jews; for though all men are in a state of bondage to the lusts of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Christ’s great mission was not to save angels, but to save men. Therefore he came not in the nature of angels, but in the nature of men.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels,.... Good angels; for they are all along spoken of in this book; and it would have been impertinent to have said this of evil angels: and this is to be understood not of a denying help and assistance to the angels; for though they have not redemption from Christ, which they needed not, yet have...
