The writer asks his readers to pay attention to the truth they have heard so that they won’t drift away into false teaching. In chapter one we saw Jesus as the Son of God, the creator and sustainer of the universe, the heir of all things, seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Now in chapter two we see Him in quite a different light. He is pictured here as the Son of man, suffering and dying for poor, lost sinners. The writer makes an urgent appeal for men not to neglect salvation (vv. 1-4). The warning seems to have been directed to non-Christians, specifically Jews, who had been intellectually convinced of the gospel but had failed to receive it for themselves. If the neglect and disobedience of the word spoken by angels was not left unpunished, much less will it be tolerated if we neglect the gospel which the Lord of angels preached, and was confirmed by the voice of the apostles, and with so many signs and wonders from heaven, and especially with great and mighty working of the Holy Spirit (v. 3). The author teaches us what man’s intended destiny is, how and why it was lost, and how it can be recovered through Christ:
