Text: Hebrews 2:9-10
I read from the KJV.
Other translations will render it differently, calling Jesus:
The originator
The author
The founder
The pioneer ( a favorite)
The perfect leader
The One whom leads people to salvation
The Source of their salvation
The Initiator
I am not sure why the KJV translators translated the exact same Greek word, (ar-khay-gos’) 2 different ways in the same book.
In our text we see it translated Captain, but in Heb 12:2 we see it translated “author.”
In both cases the Greek word is speaking of a leader.
The UBS Handbook helps translators translate the original Greek and Hebrew into another language.
It says:
The one who leads probably implies “who has begun to lead.”
This phrase may refer either to God (as RSV implies) or to Jesus (as TEV states).
The one who leads them may be expressed as “the one who shows them the way.”
But it may be more accurately rendered as “the one who goes ahead of others to show them the way.”
This may be expressed idiomatically in some languages as “one who is the thorn-treader,” that is to say, the one who goes ahead down the path and thus is the one who treads on any thorns.
Jesus, as the Captain of our salvation certainly tread on a LOT of thorns for our sake.
To bring many children into the glory of His salvation.
Jesus’ purpose on earth was to lead us into salvation.
Tom be our SOURCE of salvation.
As says:
Hebrews 5:9 (NASB95)
9 And having been made perfect [complete - the same Greek word in Heb 2:10], He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
So, because He was willing to suffer, Jesus became “complete” (perfect) as our Captain, as the One who goes before us.
So, this evening, as we seek the Lord in prayer...
We cry out to the One who leads in salvation, because He led THROUGH suffering.
As we draw near with confidence, as we enter into the Lord’s Presence, let us also remember Joshua’s attitude when he came into contact with the Captain of the Lord’s host
Let us fall before the Captain of our salvation who is also the Captain of ALL the Angel Armies of the Lord and let us hear what He has to say to us as His servants.
Let us not only hear, but let us be obedient to what He says.
Lord, help us hear the Holy Spirit and align our lives in what You say!
