VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. JESUS' human experience made Him Perfectly equipped

"And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped],"

Perfect means:

1. to make perfect, complete: to carry through completely, to accomplish, finish, bring to an end

2. to complete (perfect): add what is yet wanting in order to render a thing full

3. to bring to the end (goal) proposed

4. to accomplish: bring to a close or fulfilment by event, of the prophecies of the scriptures

Hebrews 2:10 (Amplified Bible)

2:10 For it was an act worthy [of God] and fitting [to the divine nature] that He, for Whose sake and by Whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons into glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect [should bring to maturity the human experience necessary to be perfectly equipped for His office as High Priest] through suffering.

Hebrews 11:40 (Amplified Bible)

11:40 Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them].

Luke 13:32 (Amplified Bible)

13:32 And He said to them, Go and tell that fox [sly and crafty, skulking and cowardly], Behold, I drive out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish (complete) My course.

JESUS only took 33 years to fulfill GOD's prophecies for Him, and to complete our salvation and redemption, took Him only 3 days, that's GOD. Humans can't get closer to GOD's time/plan for us.

JESUS CHRIST caused it all our eternal salvation, and our salvation is without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be, without end, never to cease, everlasting.

68:18 You have ascended on high. You have led away captive a train of vanquished foes; You have received gifts of men, yes, of the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell there with them.

68:19 Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation! Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

68:20 God is to us a God of deliverances and salvation; and to God the Lord belongs escape from death [setting us free].

Isaiah 45:22 (Amplified Bible)

45:22 Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

IX. CONCLUSION:

I look to JESUS, I am focused on JESUS, the Author and Perfecter of my faith.
