O Lord, we’ve seen Your purpose to bring the many sons
To share in Your full glory and see Your kingdom come.
We praise You, Lord, this glory is You, Yourself within,
Spread out in all Your people to shine in all of them.

Since we received Your life, Lord, a seed’s been growing there:
The seed of inward glory, the glory we will share!
By growing ’til the blossom of glory blooms in full,
We’ll thus enjoy Your increase and glory bountiful.

Hail! Captain of Salvation! Our heav’nly Pioneer!
Our praises, midst the battle and tumult, You will hear.
We’re following our Captain all through the mighty fray.
Our glorious, faithful Captain sustains us all the way.

Lord, fighting on to glory, You now have gone before;
Now fighting in Your footsteps we’ll conquer o’er and o’er.
From glory unto glory, we’ll fight until we see
The glory from within us shall manifested be.

Then, Lord, at last the fighting and battle cry will cease,
And we’ll appear in glory, Your kingdom and increase.
That day we’ll be completed, that day Your face we’ll see,
For in that blessed day, Lord, we’ll in the glory be!

II. MAKING JESUS PERFECT
THROUGH SUFFERINGS
-------------------------------

In order to accomplish His purpose of bringing many sons into glory, God had to have an example, a model. Such a one could be the qualified Captain taking the lead to bring the many sons into glory. Jesus is this Captain. Before Jesus became the Captain, however, He had to be perfected through sufferings (2:10). When I read the Bible as a young man, I was bothered by the verse in Hebrews 2 which says that Jesus needed to be perfected. On the one hand, I knew that Jesus was perfect. On the other hand, 2:10 says that He had to be perfected. So it seemed to me that Jesus was not perfect. But He truly was perfect. Although He was perfect before His incarnation, He did not have the experience of human suffering. He had to be perfected through suffering before He could become the Captain of salvation. The word perfect in 2:10 means to carry to the end or consummation by completing or perfecting. To be perfect here actually means to be qualified. Before His incarnation, Jesus was not qualified to be the Captain of salvation. In order to be qualified for this office, He had to experience human suffering. Thus, to make Jesus perfect does not imply any imperfection of virtue or attribute in Jesus, but only the completing of His experience of human sufferings which makes Him fit to become the Captain, the Leader, of His followers’ salvation. Since Jesus had passed through all the human suffering, He has been perfected, qualified, to fill this office. He is qualified to bring the many sons of God into the region of glory which He has already entered as the Pioneer.
