HEBREWS 2:14
"Because God's children are human beings-made of flesh and blood- the Son also became FLESH AND BLOOD. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
If you have ever wondered if God loves us, this is the best example He could have ever shown. The omnipotent God who made everything in the universe, became FLESH AND BLOOD to save us! Why would the superior being ever even consider becoming like a human being with all of their frailties and eventual death? It is like a dog becoming a flea to have interaction with the flea. Would you give up your position as God to become a human being? I for one would think long and hard and consider all the consequences including dying, pain and separation from God.
But, because God's children are human beings made of flesh and blood, God sent His Son Jesus Christ in human flesh to save us. If you ever wonder why Jesus had to be flesh and blood and not just a spirit the answer is that only by dying in the flesh could He break the power of the devil and death! There was and is no other way that we could be saved and His perfect plan was put in motion to bring those who believe in Jesus Christ Salvation and eternal life with God.
The Lord set us free along with all of those who had lived before and after us, if we open our hearts and invite Him in. We were all slaves of dying and death before Jesus Christ. Now we are all able to become the children of God and spend eternity with Him because of the birth, life and death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Death were is thy sting, grave were is thy power? We just as Jesus Christ will rise from the dead and have a new spiritual life with Him. So even if we are here in our own flesh and blood for a while we will join in spirit with the Lord in the end.
