The Flesh & Blood Savior from Hebrews 2
From Hebrews 2: 10-13It makes good sense that the God who got everything started and keeps everything going now completes the work by making the Salvation Pioneer perfect through suffering as he leads all these people to glory. Since the One who saves and those who are saved have a common origin, Jesus doesn't hesitate to treat them as family, saying,
I'll tell my good friends, my brothers and sisters, all I know
about you;
I'll join them in worship and praise to you.
Again, he puts himself in the same family circle when he says,
Even I live by placing my trust in God.
And yet again,
I'm here with the children God gave me.
14-15Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.
16-18It's obvious, of course, that he didn't go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham. That's why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people's sins, he would have already experienced it all himself—all the pain, all the testing—and would be able to help where help was needed.
Jesus..everything I am, everything I have is because He became Man while staying God. I am actually kind of afraid and can't relate to the other Person's in the Trinity: the Father, primarily because I am still recovering from the bi-polar version of Him I learned at the old church and the Holy Spirit, mainly because all of the things people say happen because of Him have never happened to me. But the primary reason I adore the Savior is because He has a face, He has a body and He has felt every single thing I have felt in the same type way, yet of course without sin. I adore Him because He left all the glory just so that one day I could taste the glory with Him! I also love how verse 13 above says, He joins in worship to God with us and even He lives by trusting God! He been there, He knows..
Please don't misunderstand, this is just where I am right now. I do hope one day to be able to understand and relate to the Father and Holy Spirit as well.
