and those who are sanctified
This refers to believers who have accepted Christ's sacrifice and are being made holy through His work. The process of sanctification is ongoing and involves the Holy Spirit's work in a believer's life (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Believers are called to live lives that reflect their sanctified status, aligning with God's will and purpose (1 Peter 1:15-16).

are of the same family.
This phrase emphasizes the unity and shared identity between Christ and believers. The concept of family in biblical times was central to one's identity and social structure. By stating that believers are of the same family as Christ, it highlights the intimate relationship and inheritance they share with Him (Romans 8:17). This familial bond is not based on ethnicity or lineage but on spiritual rebirth and adoption into God's family (John 1:12-13).

So Jesus is not ashamed
This indicates Christ's willingness to associate with believers despite their imperfections. In the cultural context of the first century, honor and shame were significant social values. By stating that Jesus is not ashamed, it underscores His acceptance and love for believers, regardless of their past or status. This reflects the grace and mercy inherent in the gospel message (Romans 1:16).

to call them brothers.
Calling believers "brothers" signifies a deep, personal relationship. In Jewish culture, the term "brother" was used not only for biological siblings but also for close kin and community members. This term signifies equality and shared inheritance among believers and Christ (Hebrews 2:17). It fulfills the prophecy and typology of the Old Testament, where the Messiah would be a brother to His people (Psalm 22:22). This brotherhood is a testament to the new covenant established through Christ's sacrifice, uniting all believers as one family under God.

“For both the One who sanctifies…”

• The sanctifier is Jesus Himself.Hebrews 10:10 declares, “By this will we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all,” reinforcing that Christ’s cross-work sets people apart for God.

• Sanctification is total in scope—“He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:14).

• It is also personal and ongoing;Hebrews 7:25 says He “always lives to intercede,” continually applying His finished work.

•John 17:19 shows Jesus willingly dedicating Himself so His followers “also may be sanctified in truth,” highlighting that He alone initiates and secures holiness for His people.

“…and those who are sanctified…”

• These are all believers who have trusted Christ. Paul reminds the Corinthian church, “You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified” (1 Corinthians 6:11).

•Acts 20:32 speaks of “an inheritance among all those who are sanctified,” underscoring their secure status.

• Though still growing (1 Peter 2:9), they already belong wholly to God because the sanctifier’s work is complete.

“…are of the same family.”

• Jesus shared our humanity—“Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity” (Hebrews 2:14). That shared nature forms a genuine family bond.

•Romans 8:15-17 explains that we receive “the Spirit of adoption,” crying, “Abba, Father,” and become “heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.”

•Ephesians 3:14-15 calls God “the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,” rooting this new family in God’s eternal plan.

• Practical implications:

– We possess real kinship with the Lord.

– We enjoy full access to the Father.

– We share one another’s burdens within this household.

“So Jesus is not ashamed…”

• Shame was removed at the cross;Hebrews 12:2 says He “endured the cross, scorning its shame.”

• Unlike those who may be ashamed of Him (Mark 8:38), Jesus gladly identifies with us.

•Hebrews 11:16 notes God “is not ashamed to be called their God,” showing consistency in God’s attitude toward His people.

• Because He is unashamed, we can “approach the throne of grace with confidence” (Hebrews 4:16).

“…to call them brothers.”

• Jesus verbalizes this new relationship: after His resurrection He told Mary, “Go to My brothers” (John 20:17).

•Matthew 12:50 reinforces, “Whoever does the will of My Father… is My brother.”

•Romans 8:29 identifies Him as “the firstborn among many brothers,” revealing both His preeminence and our inclusion.

• Benefits of being called brothers:

– Shared inheritance (Ephesians 1:11).

– Shared likeness—being conformed to His image (2 Corinthians 3:18).

– Shared mission—proclaiming His name to the world (Hebrews 2:12).

• Jesus, the sanctifier, fully sets believers apart by His once-for-all sacrifice.

• Those believers, already sanctified, join Him in a real family relationship.

• Because of this shared family, Jesus is proud—not ashamed—to identify with us.

• He openly calls us brothers, granting intimacy, acceptance, and joint inheritance with Him forever.
