We call Jesus ‘Lord’ because He is greater than us. We call Him ‘Savior’ because He is our redeemer. But what does Jesus call us? Amazingly, He calls us ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ [Hebrews 2:11-12]. We are Jesus’ siblings because, in becoming flesh and blood, He identifies with us in every way. Join us as we see Jesus as the great big brother who accepts us, protects us, sacrifices for us, and is never ashamed of us!
The overall message of Hebrews is JESUS IS GREATER. Greater than what? Jesus is greater than everything! The early Christians needed to be reminded of the supremacy of Christ over all people and things.
