(Hebrews) To the People of the Tribes of Wrestles with Creator 2

WALKING WITH FIRM STEPS

1This is the reason we, who are followers of the Chosen One, must walk with firm steps, holding true to what we have heard, so we will not wander away from the good road .

2For if the message of our tribal law , spoken to us by spirit-messengers, has always stood firm, and every failure to walk in that law was given the punishment deserved,

3how will we escape if we do not honor such a great and powerful way to be set free and made whole?

It was our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) himself who first spoke about this. Then those who heard him clearly passed on to us what they heard.

4The Great Spirit also confirmed the truth of what they were saying with many signs, wonders, and works of power. He also gave them gifts of the Holy Spirit in harmony with his desire.

WHY CARE ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS?

5The Great Spirit did not put the world that is coming, which we will now speak about, under the guidance of spirit-messengers.

6Instead, somewhere in our Sacred Teachings it has been said, “O Great Spirit , why do you think so much of humanity? Why do you watch over human beings so carefully?

7For a short time you made them a little lower than the spirit-messengers. You placed a headdress of honor on their heads

8and made them the caretakers over all things.”[#2:8 Psalm 8:4-6]

When Creator gave human beings the sacred calling of being the caretakers over all things, he left nothing that was not under their care. But we still do not see all things under the care of humankind.

THE TRUE HUMAN BEING

9But we can see that there is one human being who has taken on himself this sacred calling —Creator Sets Free (Jesus) . For a short time he was made a little lower than the spirit-messengers so that by the gift of Creator’s great kindness, he might taste death for everyone. Because he did this, he has been highly honored with the headdress of a chief.

10The Great Spirit is the maker and upholder of all things. So it was only right that he would be the one to lift his children back up to the honored place for which he created them. The one who would blaze the trail before them had to suffer, so he would be fully prepared to set them free and make them whole.

11Creator Sets Free (Jesus) is the one who makes people holy, and those he makes holy are all from one Father . For this reason he is not ashamed to call them his family.

12For Creator Sets Free (Jesus) speaks to us through our Sacred Teachings , saying, “O Great Spirit , I will honor your name before my brothers and sisters . I will sing sacred songs to you when we gather as a sacred family.”[#2:12 Psalm 22:22]

13He also says, “I will trust in the Great Spirit.” And again he says, “Behold! Here I am standing side-by-side with the brothers and sisters of the sacred family Creator has given to me.”[#2:13 Isaiah 8:17-18]

14So then, since these brothers and sisters all share in what it means to be weak human beings, he also became a weak human being just like them. He did this so that by dying he would bring an end to the one who holds the power of death—the evil trickster.

15He died to set all people free who have lived their lives as slaves to the evil trickster because of their fear of death.

16It is clear that he did not come for spirit-messengers, but he came to set free the descendants of Father of Many Nations (Abraham) .

17I am saying that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) needed to become fully and truly human. In this way, he could serve as Creator’s honorable and merciful chief holy man and perform the ancient mercy-seat ceremony one last time to heal the bad hearts and broken ways of the people.[#2:17 Exodus 25:17-20]

18Since Creator Sets Free (Jesus) suffered temptation, he is able to help all who are being tempted.
