fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

 Henrews2 2:1-18

We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.

So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;   in the assembly I will sing your praises.”

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.  For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.  Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Why?

God's plan is through Jesus Christ to break the sins in human beings. The Lord did not rescue angels but chose the descendants of Abraham, Jesus Christ, faithful high priest in service to God, and made atonement for the sins of the people.

God's plan is higher and fuller than we can imagine.

How?

Thanks the Lord and Jesus Christ, I may have this salvation with joy, peace, and love in my life.

But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever

 Hebrews 1:1-14

But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.

But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;  therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.

Why?

Here, Paul mentions that Jesus Christ is the son of the Lord, and that his throne will last forever and ever.

Jesus is superior to all angels. Jesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being.

Once more, confirm the position and identity of Jesus as the Son of the Lord.

How?

Praise to the Lord, worship the Lord, and come closer to Jesus Christ, for Jesus knows our pain and suffering. How great to be a son of the Lord.

Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me

 Philiemon 1;1-23

To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker— also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home:

I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.

So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.

Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

Why?

Paul knew Philmon had faith in Christ, and Paul hoped Onesimus might stay with him when he was in Jail. But Paul respected Philemon, and without his consent, Paul did not want him to stay to serve him. But because Paul and Onesimus were coworkers in the Gospel, Paul appeals to Philmon to treat Onesimus better, as he serves Paul.

Paul is a good servant of the Lord, not only preaching the Gospel but also witnessing the faith and love and wisdom and keeping good relationships among brothers.

How?

What can I do? learning from Paul with more love, faith, and hope to do everything and treat everyone.

To be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyon

 Titus 3:1-15

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.

Why?

To be a Christian, we should learn and imitate Paul; his instruction is the best reminder. 1) subject to rulers and authorities. 2) avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law.

How?

Let me be a real Christian, a follower of Jesus, love others, and love my family and my colleagues, help others as I can. May the Holy Spirit remind me, guide my way every day.

Self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance

 Titus 2:1-15

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.

teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Why?

Do our duty in every situation, whether we are a master or a slave, a teacher or an old man or an old woman. Akk of us should be self-controlled and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

Let us learn from Jesus Christ, who came down to our world and gave us his life to erase our sins.

This is the love to all of us. 

How?

Self-control and be a good servant of the Lord when I am living in this world.

An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient

 Titus 1:1-16

To Titus, my true son in our common faith:

An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 

He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Why?

Paul taught Titus how to handle or manage a church, to be an elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife. not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.

It is not everyone who says they are Christians, but their actions prove who they are.

Talk and action should be the same in Jesus Christ.

How?

May the Holy Spirit remind me to be a real Christian, a folloer of Jesus Christ.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith

 2 Timothy 4:1-22

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires.

They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 

Why?

When the time is closer to the end of the world, there are many people who turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. They called it populations, fashion, or smart guys.

To a Christian, we should continue to preach the word of the Lord, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and careful instruction. Paul has given us many instructions.

How?

Be strong and careful of many tricky things and men or words, living with great patience and careful instruction.
