Hebrews 2 shows us the gospel as God's ultimate "whatever it takes" rescue: the eternal Son took our flesh and blood so He could stand with us in life and die for us in judgment. By His death He shattered the devil's accusing power, broke the lifelong slavery of the fear of death, and opened the way for sinners to be brought near to God as forgiven children. And because He is truly man and truly God, He is a merciful and faithful High Priest who satisfies God's justice for our sins and still helps the weary, the suffering, the tempted, and the fearful today.
