Text

Hebrews 2:10-18; 4:14-16

Big idea

The incarnation and cross place divine solidarity and redemption within the Christian response to suffering.

Guardrails

Hebrews presents Jesus' solidarity and priestly help; do not imply God experiences suffering in every respect exactly as creatures do. | Avoid using the cross to silence grief, anger, trauma disclosure, or requests for practical help.
