Letter to the Hebrews Volume 13

Jesus Christ' Suffering for Humanities Sin has brought and continues to Bring many sons/daughters to Glory Part 1

Hebrews 2:10 For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. KJV

Our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ when He was born to Mary was then God and is now God and always has been God even before His birth and incarnation at Bethlehem. With that said, He did not need to be made perfect in His humanity, but what the writer of Hebrews will declare in this next verse is that He (Jesus Christ) by the sufferings in His earthly life and death was made a perfect sacrifice to God the Father for humanities sin. Here is what the writer of Hebrews declares in verse 10, "For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." (Hebrews 2:10) (KJV). The English phrase 'to make the captain of their salvation perfect' is translated by the Greek word teleioō meaning to complete, that is, (literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in character): - consecrate, finish, fulfil, (make) perfect.

In other words, the God/Man Jesus Christ was made a perfect and complete sin offering to God the Father in  Heaven. You see every human being is going to present their offering to God the Father for the payment of their sin debt to Him. The only offering or payment He is accepting is that of the Blood of Jesus Christ, therefore, every sinner will be covered by and under the Blood of Jesus or they will not; there is no other acceptable payment, not being a good person, not doing good deeds, not being a kind person, not anything but the Blood of Christ. We see in the Old Testament the two different offerings made to God by the two brothers Abel and Cain, as it is written here, "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." (Genesis 4:3-5) (KJV). The moral of the story of the two brothers is again, only the right offering (blood sacrifice or blood atonement), as it is written, "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." (Hebrews 9:22) (KJV) will be accepted by God without respect of person, that is, no matter who you are or who you think you are.

Here is what Dr. John Gill had to say of this verse, "This is not a periphrasis of Christ, who died, but of God the Father, who delivered Him to death; and who is the final cause of all things, in nature, and in grace, all things being made for His pleasure and for His glory; and He is the efficient cause of all things, as follows: all the works of creation, providence, and grace: not to worldly glory, but to the heavenly glory, which they are undeserving of; and which was long ago prepared for them; is at present hid; is weighty, solid, durable, yea, eternal: the persons whom God, of His rich grace, brings to this, are 'sons'; who are predestinated to the adoption of children; are regenerated by the Spirit of God; believe in Christ; and have the spirit of adoption given them, and so being children, are heirs of glory: and these are 'many'; for though they are but few, when compared with others, yet they are many, considered by themselves; they are many that God has ordained to eternal life, and given to Christ, and for whom He has given Himself a ransom, and whom He justifies; and accordingly there are many mansions of glory provided for them in their Father's house, whose act it is to bring them thither: He has chosen them to this glory, and prepared it for them; He sent His Son to redeem them; He reveals His Son in them, the hope of glory; He calls them to His eternal glory, and makes them meet for it, and gives them an abundant entrance into it: and Christ is 'the Captain of salvation', and is so called, because He is the author of it; and He is the Prince and Commander of these sons, who are committed to His charge, and are under His care; and He is their guide and leader; and who is gone before them to prepare their mansions of glory for them: and He is made 'perfect through sufferings'; He suffered all that the law and justice of God could require; and hereby He became perfectly acquainted with the sufferings of His people, and a perfect Saviour of them; and in this way went to glory Himself: and it 'became' God the Father, the first cause, and last end of all things, since He had a design to bring all His adopted sons to glory, that His own Son should perfectly suffer for them; this was agreeable to, and becoming the perfections of His nature, His wisdom, His veracity, His justice, grace, and mercy."

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...

Sincerely in Christ,
