“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil — the incarnation was necessary so that Jesus could die; only by entering the condition of mortal flesh could he defeat death and disarm the devil's tyranny.
