It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Here am I and the children whom God has given me.” Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death. For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham. Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. (Hebrews 2:10-18, NRSV)
I read this passage and I heard the song, I get by with a little help from my friends…
You see Jesus was our friend. He is our brother, and He is not ashamed to call us sister and brother. To claim us in front of the throne as His!
He came to live among us as one of us. To know what we go through. To face the temptations and trials that we face. So He knows.
And we can know that we can get by, because He is always there to lend us a helping hand and to walk with us through what ever it is we are facing.
He has been there! He knows what you are going through!
And He will help you get by!
