Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. - Hebrews 2:17
Can you give three reasons why it was absolutely essential and necessary for our Lord to become a man; bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh?
- Unless he was a man, he could not be a high priest to offer sacrifice for sin and make intercession; for the high priest was taken from among men (Heb. 5:1).
- Unless he was a man, he would have no sacrifice to offer. He had to shed his blood, for without shedding of blood is no remission (Heb. 9:22-25).
- Unless he was a man, he could not be a Mediator nor Advocate with a perfect righteousness to plead (1 John 2:1).
