The writer ends his thoughts on angels by saying in Hebrews 2: 17-18  "Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren (us), that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.  For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succor (assist and support)  them that are tempted."

The high priest is Jesus.  In all things pertaining to God.  To make reconciliation with God for us.  Now where in that passage is there any room for praying to anyone but Jesus--who now is in our hearts and is His Spirit?   What other way can we "get" to God?  You have to have someone to intercede and Jesus is it.  He alone makes reconciliation for sin.

"Neither is there salvation in any other (name); for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."  Acts 4:12

He made a decision, knowing what all it entailed, to come to earth and be like us.  For the purpose of bringing man and God back together.  We were alienated from God because of our sin.

He was tempted.  There are some who would say that He was God so he wasn't really tempted like we are.  The writer of Hebrews says in Heb. 4: 15 "For we don't have a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

What a man.  What a high priest.  What a God.
