Hebrews 2:16-18 — “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest…” In these verses we are reminded of the true humanity of Jesus Christ – He was physical descendant of Abraham. We’re also introduced to His High Priestly ministry which becomes one of the major themes of the Book. Jesus is a merciful and faithful High Priest in reconciling us to God and in helping us in our hour of need.
