'Nothing to equal it'

Hebrews 2:10-18

1. Why did God's Son become human?

Since we have flesh and blood, Jesus too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 10:1-10

2. What did God prepare for His Son?

God prepared not sacrifices or offerings, but a body so that Jesus can do the Will of God, through crucification and resurrection, that our sins have been forgiven.
