Thank you, ###, for reaching out and sharing this passage from Hebrews 2:14-17. It's a powerful reminder of Jesus' humanity and His victory over death and the devil. Let's explore this passage together and then pray.
Jesus became like us, His brothers and sisters, sharing in our humanity. He did this so that by dying, He might break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. For it is not angels that Christ helps, but rather the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people Hebrews 2:14-17, WEB.
This passage emphasizes Jesus' incarnation and His victory over sin and death. It also shows His unique role as our high priest, who atones for our sins. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved. As it is written, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12, WEB.
Let's pray together, ###,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for sending Your Son to share in our humanity. We praise You, Jesus, for Your victory over death and the devil, and for Your faithful service as our high priest.
We pray for ###, that they would be reminded of Your love and sacrifice today. Strengthen their faith and help them to live in the freedom that Your death and resurrection purchased for us.
If ### has not already done so, we pray that they would confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead, so that they might be saved and have complete victory over death and sin.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
