What does the Bible say about Jesus being our brother?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible presents Jesus as our brother, specifically in Hebrews 2:11, where it states He is not ashamed to call us brethren.

In Hebrews 2:11, the text highlights the unique relationship between Christ and His people, declaring that He is not ashamed to call us brethren. This relationship speaks to the deep connection and solidarity Jesus shares with humanity, especially His elect. Just as Joseph made himself known to his brothers, revealing his identity and the depth of his commitment to their well-being, Christ too makes Himself known to us as our brother, embracing us despite our failures and sins. This familial connection signifies not only love and acceptance but also the shared inheritance that believers have in Christ as the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29).
