2:10-13 How are we to understand this passage?
What the writer of Hebrews is saying here is that it was entirely in keeping with the righteous character of God, who created and upholds all things, to make Jesus suffer and die to put away sin and bring salvation to the many (CP Jn 3:16; Ro 3:21-26; 2Cor 5:21; He 5:8-9).
Jesus and the many He has saved share a common humanity. They are all members of a common family, acknowledging a common Father, God (CP Psa 22:22; Isa 8:18 with Jn 1:12; 1Jn 3:1-2).
