"Perfect" Is As "Perfect" As

“And being found in fashion as a man, (Jesus) humbled Himself, and became obedient unto ...the death of the cross.” [Phillipians 2:7]

“Though He were a Son, yet (He) learned obedience by the things He suffered; And being made perfect (fully matured), He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.” [Hebrews 5:8-9]

Case in point, regarding “obedience” being “fulfilled;” Jesus commanded His disciples, “If thou wilt be perfect (fully matured), Come and follow Me ...and Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” [2 Cor 10:6b; Matt 19:21; 5:48]

Although Jesus was equal (one) with God (the Father), as a man He made Himself of no reputation; but became the abiding Godhead in the frailty of human flesh ...for the “glory of God” is man. [Phil 2:6; Pastor]

Jesus said, “Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples (or followers).”
Like the man Christ Jesus, the perfect (fully matured) man was made to speak a thing and it becomes so.
[John 15:8; Pastor]

ThenSingsMySoul:

HUMBLE YOURSELVES IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD,
AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP; AND HE SHALL LIFT YOU UP.
I AM THE VINE, AND YOU ARE THE BRANCHES,
AND YOU WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT (repeat)

[James 4:10; John 15:5]
