Like Us, for Us

Read: Hebrews 2:10–18

For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way. Hebrews 2:17

Derek noticed his son didn’t want to take off his shirt to swim and realized it was because he was self-conscious about a birthmark that covers parts of his chest, belly, and left arm. Determined to help his son, Derek underwent a lengthy and painful tattooing process to create an identical mark on his own body.

Derek’s love for his son reflects God’s love for His sons and daughters. Because we, His children, “have flesh and blood” (Hebrews 2:14), Jesus became like us and took on a human form and “shared in [our] humanity” to free us from the power of death (v. 14). “He had to be made like [us], fully human in every way” (v. 17) to make things right with God for us.

Derek wanted to help his son overcome his self-consciousness and so made himself “like” him. Jesus helped us overcome our far greater problem—slavery to death. He overcame it for us by making Himself like us, bearing the consequence of our sin by dying in our place.

Jesus’ willingness to share in our humanity not only secured our right relationship with God but enables us to trust Him in our moments of struggle. When we face temptation and hardship, we can lean on Him for strength and support because “he is able to help” (v. 18). Like a loving father, He understands and cares. — Kirsten Holmberg

How might Jesus relate to the struggle you’re facing right now? What keeps you from leaning on Him in this moment?

Thank You, Jesus, for taking on a human form to relate to me in my struggles and pay for my wrongdoings. I want to trust You more.

Bible in a year: 1 Samuel 19–21; Luke 11:29–54

Was there for a training exercise one year towards the end of July.

Woke up one morning in the field, and everything was covered with frost.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Keepin’ the ol’ appendages crossed for luck that your week goes smoothly.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...just look at you, so quick. The last 90 minutes has been a zoo with multiple issues. I’ve been so busy today I forgot I needed to post the thread.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you are feeling well today and the day went well.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...on the road again!

Hope you had a great Monday.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

Pure luck. LOL!

Drat. Appendages cramped for naught. Maybe they’ll still pay off and things will smooth out once today’s issues are cleared up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...still hangin’ I see. Hope you are enjoying good weather.

[luvie]

G'Evenin', Night Owls!
Great road trip, lauren!
...and thanks for posting, Kathy.
Ft. Drum is a very historic and old army post.
The army has had a presence there since the 1800s.
Hope all y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
((((hugs))))

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! Must be warming up there.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

I hope you had a decent day over there.

Cloudy, a little cooler, and a little rain over here. Rain was a good thing because killed the stink. LOL

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

How was your weekend? Is robin home from her trip or are you still taking care of those adorable pooches?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...any recitals in sight?

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Robin gets back late tomorrow so I was back with the pups and there was a bit of snow in the back yard so they did their thing quickly and then scrambled back inside, Brrr, LOL.

I'll be back tomorrow too, our Spring weather is messing with us.

Anything new your way?
