What Jesus did on the cross

Hebrews 2:9-11 (KJV)

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,

Jesus tasted death for me so that I wouldn’t have to taste it myself. Thank You, Jesus!

Hebrews 2:17 (KJV)

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.

Here is another great reason for Jesus becoming flesh and dwelling among us. He became as we are
so that He could be touched by our feelings and thereby become a perfect intercessor.

1. Past, present and future sins paid for and forgiven

2. he reconciled us

3. died for our sicknesses

Proverbs 4:20-23 (KJV)

20
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

4. dealt with poverty

2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV)

9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)

8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound to every good work:

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)

3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
