* But we do see Jesus ! For a short time he was lower than the angels . Because he died , we see him made great and high . He did this so that he could die for every person . God is so good ! * Everything was made for God and by God . It seemed good to him that Jesus life should be made complete , by going through the hard things that happened to him . This was because Jesus leads many people to heaven as Gods children . And he is the one who saves them . * Jesus , who makes people holy , and those who are made holy , all have one Father in heaven . That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers . * He said , I will tell my brothers about you . I will sing praise about you among those who gather together for worship . * He also said , I will trust God . And again , Here am I and the children God has given to me . * Gods children all have a body . That is why Jesus himself had the same . But because Jesus also had a body , he was able to die and stop the devil . The devil has power to make people die . But Jesus , by his own death , was able to stop the power of death . * People were afraid to die . All their lives they were like slaves . When Jesus died , he was able to set them free from their fear . * Jesus did not come to help angels . He came to help people who were born in Abrahams family . * So he had to be made like his brothers in every way . Then he could be a high priest to make a way to God for them , a priest who was kind and true . He could make it possible for God to forgive people for the wrong things they had done .
