HHMI - Hebrews ~ Pt 6 ~ Being Brought into Spiritual Maturity

In this session, we will see that it is through Yeshua’s Melchizedek’s priesthood that a believer in Yeshua can be brought into spiritual maturity. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Hebrews 2:10 The word perfect, in Hebrew is, teleioo, and it means: “to bring to a goal, add to what is yet wanting to make it full or complete”. It doesn’t mean that you never do anything wrong. What is means is that things are brought to a conclusion, to a finish. Messiah’s obedience to the Father is what brought Him to spiritual maturity. We can see this in John 6:38: For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Yeshua learned obedience by the things that he suffered. So when Yeshua went through trials, tribulations, persecutions and sufferings, he had to die to his flesh. He had to die to doing His own will and His own desires. Likewise, when we seek to do the will of our Heavenly Father, we have to lay down our flesh, and the thoughts, the desires of our heart and the reasonings of our carnal mind and through our sufferings, the flesh is going to die but our spirit is going to come alive and we will be elevated to a place of spiritual maturity. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to aid them that are tempted.
