THE GREATNESS OF HIS SUFFERING. Hebrews 2:11-18 The Lord Jesus is greater than angels because He is the Son of God, begotten of God, enthroned with God, but also because He has been anointed with the oil of gladness above His fellows. Sufferings have placed Him in a far higher glory than angels know. His sufferings glorified the Father; put away sin; abolished death; and defeated the devil. They have made Him our Great High Priest who helps us when we are tempted, sympathizes in our sorrow, and stands before God on our behalf.
