“To become the source of salvation He had to become incarnate and obedient.
He had to become qualified for priestly office through suffering, death, and resurrection.
And He had to offer a sacrifice sufficient to save His people before sitting down at God’s right hand.
The whole aim of Hebrews’ Christology is to explain how the Son became what He needed to be in order to become the Savior we needed.”
-R.B. Jamieson, The Paradox of Sonship: Christology in the Epistle to the Hebrews, Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic: An Imprint of InterVarsity Press, 2021), 137-138.
