In Hebrews 2:14-18, the author emphasizes that Jesus, by becoming fully human, shared in our suffering and death to destroy the power of the devil and free humanity from the fear of death. As both Savior and High Priest, He experienced temptation and suffering, enabling Him to sympathize with our weaknesses and offer mercy and grace. From a Lutheran law-gospel perspective, this passage reveals that through Christ's incarnation and sacrifice, the law's demands are fulfilled in Him, while the gospel offers the free gift of salvation, rescuing us from sin, death, and the devil. Jesus' life and death not only fulfill God's justice but also extend His grace to all who trust in Him.
