Why is Jesus called our Brother in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called our Brother because He became human to save His people, thereby sharing in our humanity (Hebrews 2:11).

The concept of Jesus as our Brother is deeply rooted in His incarnation and His role as the Savior. Hebrews 2:11 explains that He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one, which means that through His humanity, Jesus identifies with His followers in a profoundly intimate manner. This title reflects both His compassion and His commitment to save us; He is not ashamed to call us His brethren. This relationship does not diminish His deity but instead highlights His willingness to share in our human experience, uniting us in a shared faith and eternal salvation.
