He Also Himself
Hebrews 2:14
For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same…


"Have you ever noticed," wrote a beloved friend who was near death, "the glorious redundancy of the apostle's words, 'He also — Himself — likewise took part of the same?'" This friend had death before him for many months, and he found in these words the richest Divine comforts. We want a Christ that can live like us, and when we come to die we shall want a Christ that could die like us.

(C. Clemance, D. D.)
