Hebrews 2:11

Hebrews 2:11 reads as follows:

• Hebrews 2:11 (ESV): For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source [Greek all are of one]. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

The phrase "all have one source" in the ESV (and others) is an interpretive translation of the Greek, "all are of one." The original Greek phrase is ambiguous. Some suggest are of "one Father" but that would include the angels. Others suggest "of Adam" but that would exclude Jesus who unlike Adam is also divine (i.e. "of God").

EGW's comment on Hebrews 2:11 suggests the one-ness of Jesus with us is his new, glorified "human form" as he stands before the Father.

• SC 14.3: “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son.” He gave Him not only to live among men, to bear their sins, and die their sacrifice. He gave Him to the fallen race. Christ was to identify Himself with the interests and needs of humanity. He who was one with God has linked Himself with the children of men by ties that are never to be broken. Jesus is “not ashamed to call them brethren” (Hebrews 2:11); He is our Sacrifice, our Advocate, our Brother, bearing our human form before the Father's throne, and through eternal ages one with the race He has redeemed—the Son of man. And all this that man might be uplifted from the ruin and degradation of sin that he might reflect the love of God and share the joy of holiness.
