The first among many brothers

Romans
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."  I present this verse from Romans (8:29) not to start into a debate on predestination, but to focus on the second half of the verse.  As Christians, we have become brothers and sisters with Jesus Christ, God the Son!  Not only can we cry out for our Father (as we read yesterday), but we have a brother who intercedes for us on our behalf.  Therefore, we can be more than conquerors!  When that sin that entangles us comes upon us, we cling to Jesus and can be freed.
