He Learned Obedience From What He Suffered

Hebrews 5:8-11 – Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.


Hebrews 2:10 - For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Hebrews 6:12 - And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Application:

· Jesus obedience to His Father in the face of each temptation taught Him obedience so that His human moral ability was strengthened
· As a human being, Jesus needed to live His life and obey God to become the perfect sacrifice for sins
· Have I become dull of hearing? Am I progressing? Am I spiritually sluggish? Am I mentally lazy?
· Do I imitate those who received the promise through faith?
