Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

– Hebrews 2:14-15 (NIV)

Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible
God cares about suffering. He cares about it so much that He experienced the suffering that we face daily so that He can relate to our struggles in every way. Yet Jesus didn’t stop with sympathy for our pain. He came to destroy the fears that assail our hearts as we face suffering and death. Jesus came to set you and me free from Satan’s power. When we believe God’s word we can live in victory over fear.
