AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 2:10 ¶ For it was fitting for God [that is, an act worthy of His divine nature] that He, for whose sake are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the author and founder of their salvation perfect through suffering [bringing to maturity the human experience necessary for Him to be perfectly equipped for His office as High Priest]. |
Bible Question:
Since Jesus was the Son of God, how could he become perfect through experiences on earth? Was there some imperfection in him that had to be worked out through ordeal? Steve |
Bible Answer: Just asking? Where did you get the ideal that Jesus wasn't perfect? Jesus came for one reason and that was to pay the human race sin debt. He was God in human form. There is nothing that living on earth can do to make any of us perfect, if that was so, we wouldn't have needed Jesus to die for our sins. He came from perfection to a world of sin, lived, taught, and died sinless. Can we accomplish that by ourselves? No! If he was "imperfect" then His death meant nothing to God. Kat |
