Thoughts on Today's Verse.... Your older brother, Jesus, died and left you the family inheritance! I know it's hard to believe, but the Bible does teach that Jesus is our brother, and Paul emphasizes that we are co-heirs with Christ (Hebrews 2:11-12). That's the message here. Because we have God's Spirit, we are God's children. Since we are God's children, we are heirs of all God offers us. We are co-heirs with Christ, whose death made our adoption into God's family possible. So, if we have to face some hard times or painful difficulties, we will not despair. We know the time is coming when we will inherit all the blessings of heaven, and we will live with our Father in heaven because of the Son Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
