Not Ashamed to Call Us His Brothers (Hebrews 2:5-13)
In Hebrews 2:11, the author of the letter reminds the letter’s recipients that Jesus was not ashamed to call them (and us) His brothers. This is not just a “simile”, but is in fact literally true. Though Jesus as the Son of God was (and is and ever shall be) fully divine, yet at a point in human history He became our brother, taking upon Himself our human form, flesh and blood, and our human nature, and lived among us as one of us for thirty-plus years as our “brother”. Now, many of us have siblings, and even some extended family we may think of as brothers and sisters. But what are the implications that we have a Big Brother, a Better Brother, in Jesus Christ?
From Series: "Jesus is Better"
A worship series on the letter to the Hebrews. This letter is actually a written sermon to believers who were struggling with their faith. They were being tempted to go back to a life without Jesus, a life rooted in the unfulfilled promises and pictures of the Old Testament. The writer of this letters seeks to show them in many ways that Jesus is better, not only better than what they had before, but better than everything.
