1. Hebrews 2:9 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What kind of sight is in mind here?

Hebrews 2:9 (ESV)

9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Because Jesus’ heavenly glory is not visible on the earth, this seeing refers to the spiritual eye of the church, seeing on the basis of reliable attestation (Hebrews 2:3).1
