We are the brothers in Jesus Christ

Hebrew 2:11-18
Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus call the brothers.
He too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is  the devil- free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Abraham's descendants are higher than angels he helps.
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
It is 'as if the whole created order was designed on the principle that glory could be secured through suffering'(Donald Guthrie)
He is the 'pioneer', blazing the way to salvation for all who follow.
What is more, because he was one of us - like us in every way - we can be sure he is able to help us.
Why?
Jesus is the savior to all who follow him.
To be sons of God so Jesus call them brothers.
Jesus became flesh came to among us, so he can help us and has power to conquer the dead, the consequences of sin.
Does the brothers love each others? Yes, we have to love each for Jesus has loved us first.
How?
We are the brothers in Jesus Christ.
