For us and for our salvation, Jesus came down and became human. The creator and ruler of the universe condescended to add full and complete humanity to his full and eternal deity. We tend not to think as much about Jesus’s humanity as we do his deity, yet Jesus was fully human in every way. Because of this he is our failthful and merciful high priest who is able to sympathize and empathize with us, as he has been tempted in every respect that we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 2 reminds us to pay much closer attention to all we have heard about Jesus, lest we drift away and neglect so great a salvation.
