Jesus' Supremacy Over the Angels - Firstborn of Many Brethren

The Hebrews writer recognized that incarnation and atonement are inseparable, and together highlight God's purpose for His human creature. Jesus was born a son of Adam in order to become the Last Adam - the beginning of a new human race that shares His image and likeness. He was born to bring many sons to glory, and so also to acquire an abundance of true brothers and sisters.
