“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren” (Heb. 2:1111For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Hebrews 2:11)). Christ, and those set apart for God by the Spirit, are all one company, in the same position before God. It is not one and the same with the Father; nor is the meaning exactly that He and others were of the same nature as mere children of Adam. It is only the sanctified, the children whom God has given Him, that He calls His brethren. If it were simply a question of humanity, He shares it, of course, with all mankind, though not in the same state as any other, whether saint or sinner. The meaning stands out clearly; He and the sanctified are all in the same human nature, as it is before God — a position taken in resurrection. Then only it can be said of them as in Psalm. 22, “I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.”
