Hebrews 2:11
"Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers." NIV
"For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren." KJV
The one who makes men holy is Jesus Christ. He is the very Son of God, the Saviour of the world, the One who was in the beginning and took part in the creation of the world. Those of us who have accepted Him and His glorious holiness are His family. It makes our Lord proud to call us His family. What honor He lavishes on us without us ever earning or deserving it.
Heavenly Father, we just praise you for your majesty and greatness and we thank you that you love us so much that you freely let your love and fellowship shower us, although we don't deserve it. Help us to be right examples of your family members, in Jesus' name, Amen.
