Children of God
In this powerful exploration of Hebrews 2:10-14, we're invited to contemplate the profound truth that Christ became like us so we could become family with Him. This message challenges us to consider the Lord of our salvation, who, in an act of unfathomable love, made the founder of our salvation perfect through suffering. We're reminded that God doesn't think or act like us - His ways are higher, and His love is deeper than we can imagine. The text emphasizes that Jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters, a comforting truth for those struggling with guilt or shame. This familial connection with Christ should reshape how we view ourselves and others in the faith. As we reflect on Christ's defeat of death and the devil, we're encouraged to live freely for God, shedding the weight of sin and embracing our identity as God's children. This message calls us to cultivate a family mindset within the church and to invite others into this divine family, sharing the incredible message of belonging found in Christ.
