Not only context supports what you are saying, John, but the Greek word translated perfect is neuter, so it cannot specifically refer to Jesus Christ. I don't disagree with the idea that it refers to the time of the resurrection, when Christ returns, but to say that it refers to Christ Himself is a setup for falsification from the cessationists when they exegete the Greek language here.
