He Call Us Family

Heb 2:9-10 " But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. "

Do you know that every human have to experience 2 forms of death? One is a physical death which you will naturally pass away due to sickness or old age. The other one is a second death, this is the real Death, where your soul will be eternally separated from God, condemned to eternal suffering because of sin. This is a terrible and worst death as spoken by Jesus. Sin is unholiness. God as a righteous Judge of Heaven and Earth has to mete out punishment for sin.

But for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, they have good news! They do not have to experience the 2nd death! Hallelujah! Because God the Father has send His Son Jesus into the world. Jesus took on human skin and flesh and entered the realm in which we are living. He gave up His original form in heaven and became a human like us forever. He called us Family, His brothers and sisters, father and mother.

Mark 3:31
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." "Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

Heb 2:11-12
" For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

With this human body, He took our punishment and experienced the second death for us whom He called brothers and sisters. Hence, if you are part of Jesus's family, you do not need to go through the 2nd death. Unlike other religious leaders or founders who died along with their own religion because they have no power over death with their worthless religion as they remained condemned according to God's Law. However, God sided with Jesus and raised Him up from the dead. Jesus demonstrated His message is real with His resurrection that He has conquered the 2nd death. Death may have killed His mortal body on the Cross but Jesus has no SIN so It cannot hold Him down. There is no legal reason to swallow Him but to let Him go free. Praise the LORD!

"Dear Jesus, I thank you for going to that cross for us. Indeed, by ourselves we cannot hope to escape the 2nd death. But only by believing You have paid the penalty for us and coming into the Your family that we can be saved. Thank You for going through all these for us when You can choose not to. Amen."
