“He is not ashamed to call them brothers.” — Hebrews 2:11

Bridger Walker was only six years old when a ferocious dog attacked his younger sister. Bridger instinctively jumped in front of his sister, protecting her from the attack of the angry animal. After Bridger received emergency medical care and received ninety stitches in his face, he explained his actions: “If anyone was going to die, I thought it was me.” Fortunately, plastic surgeons were able to restore the boy’s face. At the same time, his strong brotherly love, reflected in recent photos of him hugging his sister, remains unchanged.

Ideally, family members should watch over us and take care of us. True brothers help us when we are in trouble and are there when we are scared or lonely. At the same time, even the best brothers are imperfect; some of them may even offend us. However, we have one brother who is always on our side; it’s jesus In the Epistle to the Hebrews, it is said that Christ, in the manifestation of humble love, joined the human family, becoming a “partaker of flesh and blood” and “in all things like unto brothers” (Heb. 2:14, 17). Jesus is our truest Brother, who gladly calls us His “brothers” (v. 11).

We call Jesus Savior, Friend, and King, and it is true. At the same time, He is also our Brother, Who has felt all human fears and temptations, all despair and sadness. Our Brother is always with us!

What is your experience with your human brothers? Do you consider Jesus your true Brother?

Dear Jesus, I am fascinated by the thought that You are my Brother. Thank you for loving me, teaching me and showing me Your way.
