I can literally see Jesus as a man among men when I read this, one of us. <br />And verse 18, "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." Amazing to me that Jesus was so very human that he felt temptation and suffering, guilt, and anguish. <br /><br />But my favorite verse is 11, "Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus IS NOT ASHAMED to call them brothers"- We are all humans and we all feel the same things, but we are also so very different. But Jesus is the ultimate in different b/c only He is God's son. Yet he is NOT ASHAMED of us, not afraid to say He loves us, not so far "above" us that He cannot be next to us to hold our hands. That is the beauty of humanity...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105572371299801773.post-38843227896212515652011-07-05T21:20:13.323-04:002011-07-05T21:20:13.323-04:00I keep coming back to verse 15, "and free tho...I keep coming back to verse 15, "and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."
