Summary
Hebrews 5 encourages believers that Jesus — though fully God — was made 'perfect' as a fitting high priest by learning obedience through real-life prayer and suffering; his own prayerful experience qualifies him to intercede for us, so he understands our inability and ignorance in prayer and persists on our behalf, even bringing redemption out of apparently hopeless situations.
Key Points
- Read Hebrews 5: Jesus is our advocate in prayer.
- 'Made perfect' means a perfect fit; Jesus learned obedience by experience.
- Jesus' own prayer life and suffering qualify him as the great high priest.
- He prays for us when we cannot and is not surprised by our inability or ignorance.
- He prayed with persistent cries and tears in seemingly hopeless circumstances, and God brought redemption.
- Encouragement: rely on Jesus' intercession as you approach God in prayer.
