Hebrews 2:14-18
14 Since the children have flesh and blood, 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— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Questions
1. If you could be like anybody else, who would you be and why?
2. This passage tells us that Jesus is like one of us. Why is this good news?
3. Is Jesus ever surprised by our sin? Why?
4. After these past several days, how would you answer the questions? "Who is Jesus?"
Pray
Thank God for being like one of us and that he understands how hard it is to be human. Ask for God's help to understand those in your life who might be having a hard time, and how you might come along side them.
Next Step
Pick up the phone and call that person whom you know is struggling and ask " How are you doing? How can I come along side you?"
