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; — Hebrews 2:14

Did you know that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our brother? In a few verses, the Holy Spirit says, “He had to be made like his brothers.” We were God’s lost children, so Jesus came and took on our mortality, our human skin with all its limits, so that he could defeat our worst enemy, the evil death-maker Satan. Death no longer has a hold on us because our big brother has beaten it and gone to prepare our place at the Father’s side!

Prayer

Thank you, Almighty God, for sending your Son to live among and become like me. I feel small in comparison to your sacrifice and his love, but then I remember that Jesus’s gift has now made me your child and he is now my older brother. I find it difficult on occasion, Abba Father, to wait for our family reunion. Please utilize me to spread the word about your family, your talent, and your Son until that wonderful reunion day! In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
