For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. –Hebrews 4:15 NKJV

He Knows and Understands

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. –Hebrews 4:15 NKJV

The song “The More I Seek You” by Kari Jobe is beautiful and full of truth. Are you seeking God’s truth? Maybe you think He doesn’t understand what you are going through. Know this—Jesus loves you so much that He left His heavenly home to live among us. He not only teaches us through His Word, the Bible, but also personally experienced everything we go through during His time on earth. Therefore, He understands your pain, your fear, your failures, and temptations. He experienced those pains firsthand while on the Cross. As for fear, He asked the Father to remove the cup from Him in Mark 14:36, knowing that His crucifixion would be excruciating. Jesus was let down by His friends when they couldn’t stay awake and keep watch in the Garden of Gethsemane while He went off to pray. Peter, one of His closest friends, also rejected Him. Additionally, He faced multiple temptations from Satan in the wilderness. Jesus, having experienced these trials firsthand, truly empathizes with your situation. Place your trust in Him to guide you through every circumstance.

Thank You, Jesus, for coming to earth for me and loving me that much!

Jesus, I know You felt some of the same emotions that I am feeling. Please help me trust You to guide me through it all!
