December 20 Hebrews 2:10-11
In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
I’m sitting by my wife’s hospital bed. She had day surgery today and will spend one or two nights here. None of us escapes at least some pain and suffering. It is helpful to know Jesus voluntarily suffered much more than we do. The image of Him crucified has brought comfort to countless souls throughout the ages.
This verse from Hebrews gives us another supportive idea. He has made us His brothers and sisters. Thus even as I sit here my presence brings comfort so Jesus remains present as well.
When have you found peace and comfort from your Heavenly Brother?
