Full Text:
Jesus, the one who makes us holy, and we, the ones He makes holy, are bonded as family. Literally, Hebrews [2:11] says we are ‘all out of one’. We are cut from the same piece of cloth, the humanity we have in common with the incarnate Son of God. We are all of one family now, all of one Father. Jesus has come in the flesh so that He is now our brother. And He claims us as his own kin. The text says that He is not ashamed to call us His sisters and brothers. He has been made like us, so we might be made like Him, so we might become part of His family. He came down so He could lift us up and bring us back to God.
