Thoughts on Today's Verse.... Did you know that Jesus is not only our Savior but also our brother? "He had to be made like his brothers and sisters," the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 2:17). We were God's lost children, so Jesus came and shared our mortality, our human skin with all its limitations, so that he could defeat our worst enemy, the evil death-maker Satan. Now through Jesus' incarnation in human flesh, death no longer has its hooks in us or its hold on us. Jesus, our spiritual big brother, has defeated it. Our older brother is now at our Father's side, interceding for us until we can go home to him (Acts 2:33; Hebrews 4:14, 7:25; J! ohn 1:18 ESV).
