Why Was Jesus Made a Little Lower Than the Angels? Hebrews 2:9-15 | Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 5

Why was Jesus made a little lower than the angels? Hebrews 2:9-15: "for the suffering of death," so that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 5, hosted by Matt Hepner with Otis Fowler and David "The Raven" Corbo.

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2:9). Otis and Matt explain why Jesus had to become fully man: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Along the way: "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:28-31), "by one man sin entered into the world" (Romans 5:12), "that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8), docetism and whether Jesus really came in the flesh, "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9-10), hardened hearts (John 12; Isaiah 6), and the captain of our salvation made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:8), who "ever liveth to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25).

It opens on the heart that "is deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9), witchcraft and the blood debt, being "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), and the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6).
