Daily Reading for Tuesday January 12, 2021
*FIRST READING*
The one who begins and leads the redemption deserves to be made complete by suffering.
A Reading from the Book of Hebrews 2:5-12
It was not under angels that he put the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Someone witnesses to this somewhere with the words: What are human beings that you spare a thought for them, a child of Adam that you care for him?
For a short while you have made him less than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honour,
put all things under his feet. For in putting all things under him he made no exceptions. At present, it is true, we are not able to see that all things are under him,
but we do see Jesus, who was for a short while made less than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he submitted to death; so that by God's grace his experience of death should benefit all humanity.
It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should, in bringing many sons to glory, make perfect through suffering the leader of their salvation.
*The Word of the Lord*
