\nDay 8<\/strong>
\nThere is something better than feeling like Jesus is a far-off deity. It is seeing Jesus in his compassionate humanity.<\/i>
\nRead Hebrews 2:5-13.
\nIn Hebrews 1, we saw Jesus in his full deity\u2014in his power and glory as the beloved Son, appointed heir, radiant glory, exact imprint, universe creator, powerful sustainer, sin purifier, and seated ruler.
\nBut Jesus was not only fully divine. In a holy mystery we can\u2019t completely comprehend or explain, Jesus was at once fully divine and fully human. In Hebrews 2, we see Jesus in his humanity, lowering himself, getting involved, sharing with us, living with us, becoming one of us.
\nOur Savior entered our reality, and he knows how it feels. We can go to God not only for salvation but also for sympathy.
\nIn what way was Jesus \u201cmade perfect\u201d through suffering (2:10)?
\nThink about your own brother(s), if you have one, or about someone who has been a brother figure in your life. What is the significance of Jesus calling himself your brother (2:11)?
\nHow does it help you to know that Jesus knows what temptation feels like?
