HEBREWS 2:10
It was fitting for Him for whom are all things and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
God’s plan of salvation has existed since time began. Only He— in His wisdom, love, power, and perfection—could have devised such a deeply compelling yet incredibly costly plan. Only a God as infinitely loving as our God would be willing to let His sinless Son serve as the perfect and acceptable sacrifice for the sin of the human race.
Jesus, our Servant King, submitted Himself to this eternal plan. He allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross and mocked by His creatures because of our sin. By doing this, Christ established a path to God for sinners; He blazed the trail of salvation that countless others could follow. Interestingly, the Greek translated as author in Hebrews 2:10 can also mean captain, pioneer, or pathfinder.
God gave authority over all creation, over every power and authority, to the Servant Messiah who, completely humbling Himself, died on the cross for the sins of mankind. Two thousand years ago with His own Son and today with His children, God exalts the lowly, strengthens the weak, and honors the humble.
