In Every Respect

Hebrews 2:14-18 (ESV Strong's)

14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Flesh and Spirit meet and are joined in the body of Jesus. Our flesh and His Spirit become one in the body of Christ. He became like us in every respect so we might become like Him in every respect. This is where heaven and earth become one, which is the finished work of God in creation.
