God's only begotten Son came to us in the form of a human, to show us the nature of God the Father. He became a man to be our payment for our sins. He was perfect so that he could die in our place. Through his death he defeated the devil and has made those he has chosen to be holy brothers and sisters to live forever with Him, in the presence of God, His Father.
(Easy Read Bible Version)
Heb 2:9 For a short time Jesus was made lower than the angels, but now we see him wearing a crown of glory and honor because he suffered and died. Because of God's grace, Jesus died for everyone.
Heb 2:10 God—the one who made all things and for whose glory all things exist—wanted many people to be his children and share his glory. So he did what he needed to do. He made perfect the one who leads those people to salvation. He made Jesus a perfect Savior through his suffering.
Heb 2:11 Jesus, the one who makes people holy, and those who are made holy are from the same family. So he is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.
Heb 2:12 He says, "God, I will tell my brothers and sisters about you. Before all your people I will sing your praises."
Heb 2:13 He also says, "I will trust in God." And he says, "I am here, and with me are the children God has given me."
Heb 2:14 These children are people with physical bodies. So Jesus himself became like them and had the same experiences they have. Jesus did this so that, by dying, he could destroy the one who has the power of death—the devil.
There are natural brothers and sisters and there are Spiritual, Holy brothers and sisters. Jesus Christ came so that by trusting in him we might become the Holy people of God.
Mat 12:46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.
Mat 12:48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
Mat 12:49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!
Mat 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
