Yet Learned He Obedience!

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Hebrews 5:7-9


The word of God reveals the heart wrenching truth that God was willing, in Christ, to suffer the trials of life as a persecuted and mistreated human in order to perfect a way of salvation for mankind. Christ's human life was made particularly difficult since He was exposed to the specially focused attack of Satan through many people and avenues. No person need say..."God does not understand my trials". The index of suffering that Christ knew, as one of us, was far in excess of any before or after him. The supernatural trials alone were beyond what we can imagine. The achiever knew he must use every means to prevent Jesus from perfecting a way for us. Unlike you and I there was no pardon for Jesus if He failed even once. Yet He was willing to endure all this for you and I. Let this truth be your comfort and motivation to honor Him each day.
