Hebrews chapter 2

summary
Hebrews chapter 2 presents Jesus as the 'perfect' man, being made like us. Jesus was made “lower than the angels” for a time, in order identify with humanity, and enabling Him to be a model for us when we are tested.

key verse
2:17-18 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. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Phil 2:7-8 Christ Jesus Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
