What does it mean that Jesus is not ashamed of His brethren?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus fully identifies with and embraces those who believe in Him, regardless of their past or shortcomings.

The statement that Jesus is not ashamed of His brethren is a profound reminder of His acceptance and love for all who are united in faith with Him. In Hebrews 2:11, it is affirmed, '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.' This signifies that Christ shares in our humanity and makes us part of His family. His willingness to associate with us despite our flaws and sins showcases the grace of God, which is central to sovereign grace theology. In light of our unworthiness, it is remarkable that Jesus chooses to call us His family, demonstrating His unconditional love and commitment to our spiritual well-being. We are then assured of our standing before God, belonging to a holy family that upholds His glory.
