Hebrews 5:9 KJV
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Christ was made perfect through those things he suffered and through death. Christ is perfect God and perfect man and always was all of that. But in death Christ became free of the bonds of this world. No longer could the body hold him to the needs of food, drink and shelter. No longer was he restricted from his omnipresence. No longer did the flesh endure pain and physical weakness. Through death Christ was resurrected with a glorified body.
God is today concerned with our perfection. Both in the church and in the individual believer our perfection is His work. That perfection is wrought in our suffering and will ultimately be completed in our death and resurrection.
Oh for that day!
