Skip to content ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 14th November 2023 Is ”Jesus Christ:The Captain of Our Salvation”
Read: Hebrews 2-3:6(NKJV)
2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard [Him,]
2:4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
2:5 For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.
2:6 But one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?
2:7 You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.
2:8 You have 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 do not yet see all things put under him.
2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom [are] all things and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
2:11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified [are] all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
2:12 saying: “I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
2:13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
2:15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
2:16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.
2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like [His] brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
3:2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also [was faithful] in all His house.
3:3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.
3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things [is] God.
3:5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken [afterward,]
3:6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 14TH NOVEMBER 2023.
A captain is the one among a group who leads others to achieve a goal; he gives directions and instructions to his subjects. The goal here is eternal life that can only be obtained through Christ, the Captain of our salvation who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, and was crowned with glory and honour.
He then obtained a new name higher than any other name. In our passage today, we see Christ as the captain over God’s house and the Heir of God’s salvation (v.10). He is the faithful High Priest(v.17), the Son of God and an effulgence of His glory and honour, that he by the grace of God should taste death for mankind.
God put everything under His control and made Him to suffer death on the cross so that He will bring many sons unto glory. Christ came for man’s total redemption (v 14). Beloved, Jesus Christ saved you with the assurance of leading you into glory (Acts 4:12; John 1:12). You are a candidate of God’s eternal kingdom, therefore, rejoice that you have a loving and caring Captain of your soul, leading you to glory.
He gives all things to all people: Forgiveness to penitent sinners; health to the sick; comfort to the disheartened; strength to the weak; refuge to the insecure; guidance to the confused; rest to the weary and children to the barren. Relax confidently in His saving arms and you will be happy that you did so.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I hand over the affairs of my life to Christ, the captain of my salvation for safety in Jesus’ name. Amen.
