Our lesson for this week will emphasize his saviourhood. The writer points out that, in response to mans need, Jesus, who was the very Son- of God, became incarnate in human flesh and bore the penalty for mans sin through his death on the cross. Even though he was the Son of God, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, he was willing to experience the greatest humiliation in order to achieve salvation for sinful men. In this way, the Captain of our salvation was made perefet through sufferings; that is, he completed his redemptive work.

He became like us in order that we might become like him. The writer of Hebrews declares that Jesus is our great High Priest and is comparing him with the Hebrew high priest, which as the Hebrews knew, in Old Testament times offered sacrifices in the tabernacle and later in the Temple at Jesu-salem for the sins of the people. Therefore, having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession Our Great High Priest needs not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices. for the sins of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself; that is when he died on the cross.
