Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered;
and when he was made perfect,
he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
Pretty profound, that Jesus Himself had to learn obedience in His human nature, from what he suffered, so that He could be the source of eternal salvation for us..this reading confront us with the suffering of Jesus and the call to die to ourselves by following Him. Dying to our will s is not easy, it is often painful and requires great purification, but we are promised “eternal” salvation of we obey Him.
I think we tend to forget about eternal salvation on a day to day basis. We tend to think of our lives from a very earthly viewpoint. The next time I want to do things my way instead of His, I pray I remember eternal salvation. Chances are, whatever it is I am stuck on doing is not worth the price of risking that!
