Hebrews 2:7-18

for the suffering of death…that he by the grace of God should taste death for
every man. He came to earth to rescue us
and to pay the price of our death.

on him the seed of Abraham

Hebrews 4: 13-16
o
He is all powerful and has see’s all
creatures and their infirmities. He has
experienced everything that we have and ever will. He is without sin and he has paid the price
of all the sin and hurt we will ever fill.
·
Alma 7: 11-15
o
He suffered pains and afflictions and
temptations of every kind so that he could take upon himself the pains and
sicknesses of his people.
o
He took upon himself death so that he
may loose the bands of death from his people and he will take upon himself their
infirmities. He has come to succor his
people according to their infirmities.
o
He does this so that he may blot out our
transgressions
·
Doctrine and Covenants 122:8
o
He has descended below all things. In Matthew there is a chapter that talks
about how he ate with the publicans and sinners. By doing this he became ritualistically
unclean. So he fell from a position of
upper middle class in Jewish society and fell to the bottom. He came to their level to be able.
