Hebrews 2:8

Posted by joncooper

Hebrews 2:8: “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.”

Even to this day, all things have not yet been put under Jesus. One day this will change, however. The day is soon coming when Jesus will return to Earth and defeat Satan, the antichrist, and the forces of darkness – at which point His will is finally going to be done “on earth, as it is in heaven” (as Jesus Himself taught us to pray). This will not be the end, however. The final victory won’t come until after the Great White Throne judgment, where sin, death, and the devil will be done away with once and for all. After that takes place Jesus will be the undisputed ruler of the Universe. All things will at last be in complete subjection to Him, and all traces of rebellion will be stamped out forever. That will be an awesome day.

Now, there are some who say “Oh, you shouldn’t worship Jesus. You should just worship the Father.” This is a lot of nonsense. Jesus is the very image of God; when you honor Jesus you honor the Father, and when you dishonor Jesus you dishonor the Father. All throughout the New Testament people fell at Jesus’ feet and worshiped Him, and Jesus never stopped them. It is altogether fitting and right that we should worship Jesus, and praise Him, and give Him our thanks – for dying for us, for saving us from our sins, for blessing us with countless blessings, and for interceding on our behalf. Jesus is altogether worthy of all of our worship, honor, and praise.
