Jesus Christ Is Our Restorer!

Jesus Christ Is Our Restorer As The Captain Of Salvation!

Hebrews 2:10, 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.

That term “Captain” literally signifies a “pioneer—one who opens the way for others to follow—a leader.” Christ took the lead by giving up His glory to become a man to die as our Substitute and Representative. Likewise, He regained His glory when He arose from the dead and ascended back to Heaven. Now, He shares His glory with all who trust Him for salvation (John 17:22–24). Christ, Jesus pioneered the way for literally bringing an entire band of redeemed children to glory. As a lost humiliated race, we were once held in servitude by our enemy, Satan and there was no glory to be had (Heb. 2:14-15). Since we were human, our Captain became human to suffer and die for our sin—in order to rescue us from utter condemnation and final humiliation. Christ established order in the midst of universal chaos by the death of His mighty Cross! It was Jesus Christ Who drunk every bitter dreg of the cup of God’s wrath! This was accomplished that no sinner who believes on Him should ever have to face God’s unmitigated wrath against sin. Jesus restores us Believers to our place of dignity, honor, and yes, glory that God originally intended. As the pioneering Leader, our Captain is The Restorer through His provision of salvation. The way to salvation glory has been swung opened wide by our Great Captain!
