10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things , and through whom are all things , in bringing many sons to glory , to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings . 11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren , 12 saying , " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN , IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE ." 13 And again , " I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again , " BEHOLD , I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 2:10-13
Commentary on Hebrews 2:10-13
(Read Hebrews 2:10-13)
Whatever the proud, carnal, and unbelieving may imagine or object, the spiritual mind will see peculiar glory in the cross of Christ, and be satisfied that it became Him, who in all things displays his own perfections in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. His way to the crown was by the cross, and so must that of his people be. Christ sanctifies; he has purchased and sent the sanctifying Spirit: the Spirit sanctifies as the Spirit of Christ. True believers are sanctified, endowed with holy principles and powers, set apart to high and holy uses and purposes. Christ and believers are all of one heavenly Father, who is God. They are brought into relation with Christ. But the words, his not being ashamed to call them brethren, express the high superiority of Christ to the human nature. This is shown from three texts of Scripture. See Psalm 22:22; 18:2; Isaiah 8:18.
