Jesus our Pioneer - Faced the fear of death with us and for us. Hebrews 5:7: In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death. He prayed with blood, sweat, and tears, Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Not only despised by many, rejected by his own culture and physically abused by humans, Jesus was killed in the most humiliating fashion: crucifixion. It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Hebrews 2:10 He endured it ALL to make a way for us to follow him to the place He is preparing for us in the Kingdom of God. He Conquered Death for us! So we might proclaim, Oh Death now where is your Sting? We are look to Jesus the Pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. -- Hebrews 12:2
