Hebrews 2:17

Hebrews 2:17 It behoved him to be made like [his] brethren. Hence, for the reasons given above, it was necessary that he take our nature. That he might be a merciful and faithful high priest. To be our high priest he must be in full sympathy with us, having experienced our trials and our sufferings. To make reconciliation for the sins of the people. As our high priest he made atonement for us. Conscious of all our frailties he intercedes for us. In him, the Divine man, all who are found in him are justified before God.
