The humanity of Jesus – Hebrews E2

The Rooted Podcast

Why does it matter that Jesus became human like us and why was it necessary for him to die in the way he did?

In today's episode, we’re joined by a special guest, Sarah Hindley, as we dive into Hebrews chapter 2. Our conversation focuses on the significance of Jesus being fully human as well as fully God. We discuss the Old Testament references used by the author and what they meant by describing Jesus' death as ‘fitting’. The episode concludes with a conversation about Jesus suffering temptation and what this means for us today.
