What kind of family do we have? What is it like to become apart of this family? I was a coal miner’s son. I lived in an old coal camp and played on the streets and in the woods while I was growing up. It was a great place to live and grow up.
Hebrews 1:1 (NIV) In the past God
spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir
of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance
of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things
by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down
at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Hebrews 2:5 (NIV) It is not to
angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6
But there is a place where someone has testified: "What is man that you are
mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 7 You made him a little
{[7] Or him for a little while; also in verse 9} lower than the angels; you
crowned him with glory and honor 8 and put everything under his feet." {[8]
Psalm 8:4-6} In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not
subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9 But we
see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory
and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste
death for everyone. 10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God,
for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their
salvation perfect through suffering. 11 Both the one who makes men holy and
those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call
them brothers. 12 He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers; in the
presence of the congregation I will sing your praises." {[12] Psalm 22:22}
