Hebrews 2: Jesus Our Brother and Helper

Hebrews 2 warns readers to pay close attention to what they have heard so they do not drift away. It quotes Psalm 8 about people being crowned with glory and honor, and shows that Jesus was made a little lower than the angels. He suffered death for everyone. He is not ashamed to call his people brothers. Because he was tempted himself, he is able to help those who are tempted.
