Hebrews 5:9 (KJV)
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
The advantage and disadvantage of the high priests was that they were taken from among men.
- The advantage was that they could have compassion on sinners because they too were sinners
- The disadvantage was that, because they were sinners, they could only offer compassion. They needed a Saviour as well as any other
Enter Jesus Christ.
- Eternal
- Sinless
- Deity
- Jesus was called by His Father to His office
- Jesus suffered in the flesh as men do
- Jesus called upon His Father in prayer as men do
- Jesus learned obedience as men do
Thus, being made perfect in manliness, He could be our perfect High Priest.
- He is perfectly man
- He is perfectly able to execute His office
- He is perfectly able to have compassion upon us
- He is perfectly obedience
- He is perfectly prayerful
- He is perfectly sinless so that
- He was able once for all, to offer the perfect sacrifice for our sins
