Suffering joins us

 

Haiku responding to Heb 2:10-18


Suffering joins us

in common humanity

and links us with God.


We are made holy

through Jesus; with him we are

all children of God.


Sharing flesh and blood,

Jesus, through death, defeated

the power of death.


We no longer fear

death, Jesus has set us free

from death's slavery.


Jesus came for us,

(not angels!), to make us his

brothers and sisters.


He frees us from sin.

(Is sacrifice, atonement,

the only process?)


Jesus was tested

by what he suffered; he helps

all who are tested.
