Heb 2:10 | MHM | STEP | Design of Christ's Sufferings This section explains why it was right for Christ to suffer. The apostle wants to show that the cross is not a shame, but a part of God's wise plan. Christ’s suffering brings great blessings to people. It helps unite believers with Jesus and makes them part of God’s family. v. 10 : The apostle says that it was fitting for God—who made everything and for whom everything exists—to make Jesus, the leader of our salvation, perfect through suffering. God’s purpose was to bring many sons and daughters to glory. We can only share this glory if we are God’s children, both by being adopted and born again through faith. All true believers are children of God ( to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God , John 1:12 ). Even though believers may seem few now, in heaven they will be many, as Christ is the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. God also chose the best leader for us—Jesus. He was made perfect for his role by his sufferings, which means he was fully prepared to save us. Jesus became our perfect guide by dying for us, and through his sufferings, he opened the way for us to reach glory too. This means that even our own sufferings can be honorable and valuable if we follow Jesus.

Design of Christ's Sufferings

This section explains why it was right for Christ to suffer. The apostle wants to show that the cross is not a shame, but a part of God's wise plan. Christ’s suffering brings great blessings to people. It helps unite believers with Jesus and makes them part of God’s family.

v. 10: The apostle says that it was fitting for God—who made everything and for whom everything exists—to make Jesus, the leader of our salvation, perfect through suffering. God’s purpose was to bring many sons and daughters to glory. We can only share this glory if we are God’s children, both by being adopted and born again through faith. All true believers are children of God (to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, John 1:12 ^a). Even though believers may seem few now, in heaven they will be many, as Christ is the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. God also chose the best leader for us—Jesus. He was made perfect for his role by his sufferings, which means he was fully prepared to save us. Jesus became our perfect guide by dying for us, and through his sufferings, he opened the way for us to reach glory too. This means that even our own sufferings can be honorable and valuable if we follow Jesus.
