Bible Text:
Hebrews 2:9,10 KJV
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a
little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with
glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for
every man.
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.
It is plain to see, the subject of this verse is not, “morality,”
but Leadership, of the people of God!
The Morality Of
Jesus Christ:
Isaiah 53:9 KJV
And He made His
grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had
done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.
Luke 23:39-41
KJV
39 And one of
the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, If thou be
Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the
other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we
indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this
Man hath done nothing amiss.
John 8:46 KJV
Which of you
convinceth Me of sin? And if I say The Truth, why do ye not believe
Me?
II Corinthians
5:21 KJV
For He hath
made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him.
Hebrews 4:15 KJV
For we have not
an 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.
Hebrews 7:26 KJV
For such an
High Priest became us, who is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, Separate
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Hebrews 9:14 KJV
How much more
shall The Blood Of Christ, who through The Eternal Spirit offered
Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to
serve The Living God?
I Peter 1:19 KJV
But with The
Precious Blood Of Christ, as of A Lamb without blemish and without
spot:
I Peter 2:21,22
KJV
21 For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving
us an example, that ye should follow His steps:
22 Who did no
sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:
I John 3:5 KJV
And ye know
that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.
Jesus Christ is the sinless Son Of God.
What then is verse 10 telling us?
Hebrews 2:10 KJV
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.
“Perfect
through sufferings,” has
to do with the leadership role of our Savior!
Jesus The Man:
Hebrews 2:5-18
NLT
5 And
furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we
are talking about.
6 For in one
place the Scriptures say, “What are mere mortals that you should
think about them, or a Son Of Man that you should care for Him?
7 Yet you made
them only a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory
and honor.
8 You gave them
authority over all things.” Now when it says “all things,” it
means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put
under their authority.
9 What we do
see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the
angels”; and because He suffered death for us, He is now “crowned
with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death
for everyone.
10 God, for
whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many
children into glory. And it was only right that He should
make Jesus, through His suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring
them into their salvation.
11 So now Jesus
and the ones He makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is
not ashamed to call them His brothers and sisters.
12 For He said
to God, “I will proclaim your name to My brothers and sisters. I
will praise you among your assembled people.”
13 He also
said, “I will put My trust in Him,” that is, “I and the
children God has given Me.”
14 Because
God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—The Son
also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die,
and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the
power of death.
15 Only in this
way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the
fear of dying.
16 We also know
that The Son did not come to help angels; He came to help the
descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for Him to be
made in every respect like us, His brothers and sisters,so that He
could be our Merciful and Faithful High Priest before God. Then He
could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.
18 Since He
Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us
when we are being tested.
Jesus,
The Captian of our faith, sinless and '”a perfect
leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.”
Philippians
2:5-11 NLT
5 You must have
the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though He was
God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, He
gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form,
8 He humbled
Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore,
God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name
above all other names,
10 that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under
the earth,
11 and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God The
Father.
