Greetings to all, let us rejoice today in knowing that we can endure because we have Jesus, our Lord, and Savior and because He is our strength. Amen
No one ever wants to feel alone, especially when going through difficult times. Many of us would agree that we would like someone who understands what we're going through to be with us.
There is good news, we not alone! No matter what we're going through, we have a well aware God who is no stranger to what we go through, and He understands all our pain and sufferings, and He wants to empower us with the strength to withstand whatever comes our way.
Hebrews 4:15 (HCSB)
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 2:18 (GW)
18 Because he experienced temptation when he suffered, he can help others when they are tempted.
Isaiah 53:11-12 (GW)
11 He will see and be satisfied because of his suffering. My righteous Servant will acquit many people because of what he has learned {through suffering}. He will carry their sins as a burden.
12 So I will give him a share among the mighty, and he will divide the prize with the strong, because he poured out his life in death and he was counted with sinners. He carried the sins of many. He intercedes for those who are rebellious.
Lesson: Jesus paid the price for our sins even though He knew no sins. We have a Perfect Great High Priest in Jesus because He came from heaven, giving up His divine status to walk the earth as a man so that He can sympathize with all our weakness, pain, sufferings, grief, and temptations.
He truly understands all our weaknesses because He faced the same emotions and testings that we do. He continues to be with us today, living inside us and strengthening us as we go through our trials.
