Hebrews 2:14-17
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
We celebrate Christmas because Jesus
- took on flesh and blood to become “Elder Brother” for the family of the redeemed
- entered the prison to free the captives
- took away Satan’s “right” to rule by allowing him to take His perfect, sinless life
- is our High Priest who completely satisfied God’s righteous standards
Thank you Lord, for setting me free from the bondage of sin.
May my celebrations this season reflect my freedom in you.
