2 | Did Jesus Need to Become Perfect? | Heb 2:10 | Makarios | 11247 | ||
Hebrews 2:10.. "2:10 to perfect. I.e., the sufferings of Jesus made Him qualified to be the leader of man’s salvation." (Ryrie Study Bible) "The Greek word for captain means “leader” or “originator.” The word describes a pioneer or pathfinder. Jesus’ endurance of sufferings on this earth makes Him our leader. He has already experienced the sufferings we must go through on this earth. He not only endured them but triumphed over sin, death, and Satan through them. His sinless life has blazed a path to God, a path we must follow. Jesus is our model, our leader, and our Captain. He understands our pain because He Himself went through suffering. Salvation refers to our future salvation, our glorification in Christ’s coming kingdom (1:14). 'captain' (Gk. ) (2:10, 12:2; Acts 3:15; 5:31) G747: The Greek word for captain means “pioneer” or “leader.” It literally means “the first one to lead the way” from (“the first”) and (“to lead”). To express this idea of leadership, the word is translated in Acts 3:15; 5:31 as the “Prince” and in Heb. 12:2 as “the author.” Thus the writer of Hebrews is emphasizing that Jesus endured suffering and temptation on this earth in order to become a perfect leader. He is not only sinless but also can sympathize with our difficulties in following His perfect way, the Way that leads to glory." (Nelson Study Bible) "Sufferings Heb 5:8-9; see Phil 3:12, note" (New Scofield Bible) "God, Sovereignty—God brought all things into existence. They continue to exist for His purposes. In His sovereign power with the capability to do anything He chose, God elected to bring salvation by letting His own Son, our Savior, suffer and die." (Disciple's Study Bible) "2:10-18 This was God’s remedy for human evil, sin and death, and Jesus was the prototype (pioneer) of this divine deliverance and transformation of those who now accept their role as God’s people. Jesus shared the flesh and blood limitations of human existence, and the faithful now share in the defeat of evil and death which he has accomplished. He was both high priest and ultimate sacrifice in making atonement for the sins of the people. Having experienced suffering and death, he can help those passing through the same human trials." (Cambridge Annotated Study Bible) "2:10 To make Jesus “perfect through sufferings” does not mean that any imperfection, spiritual or moral, existed in Christ’s nature. Rather, He fully experienced the suffering of humanity through complete identification with humanity. The word “perfect” has the idea of “completion.” (Believer's Study Bible) "perfect through suffering. Christ had not been morally or spiritually imperfect, but his incarnation was completed (perfected) when he experienced suffering. He identified with us on the deepest level of anguish, and so became qualified to pay the price for our sinful imperfection and to become our sympathetic high priest." (NIV Study Bible) |
