Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he, that is, God, Heb. 1. 8. also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he must destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the Devil. Now as he was thus true God and true man, so he became our redeemer, and Saviour. Compare the first and second chapters to the Heb. together, and you may clearly see that this is a glorious truth, that he, who is the first and the last, Rev. 1. 17, 18. and •. 8. humbled himself, and ⟨image 28⟩made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a Servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And was this all? No, he humbled himself unto death, even the death of the cross, Phil. 2. 7, 8. compared with Revel. 1. 17, 18. and Rev. 2. 8. with Gal. 1. 4. Now after this Christ of God, true God, and true man, had wrought out eternal redemption for us poor miserable sinners, Heb. 9. 14. compared with 1 Tim. 1. 15. I say, after he had done this, he ascended up into heaven, and there ever lives to make intercession for us. Now this Christ, having thus completely wrought out our Salvation, sends his Disciples abroad to preach the same to ⟨image 29⟩poor sinners, Acts 2. and 2 Cor. 5. 19, 20.
