Jesus is not ashamed to call usbrothers.
- we have shared a humanity. That makes us brothers.
- we have shared the inherent suffering of humanity. That makes us brothers.
- we have share a condition called death. For believers, He "tastes death: for us. That makes us brothers.
- we too can entrust and imitate Jesus in our response to suffering. That REALLY makes us brothers.
As we suffer rightly, this marks us as Christians; as part of the Family Of God. Suffer well. It makes us "family" with Jesus.
