Are you seeking the truth? Have you wondered how in the world you can relate to Jesus? You think that He does not know what you are going through and can’t possibly understand. Yet, Jesus loved us so much He left His heavenly home to live among us. Jesus not only teaches us through the Word, but He also experienced everything that we do. How can He understand your pain, fear, failures, and the disappointments of friends and family? Because He experienced all of that Himself while on earth. Jesus experienced pain firsthand on the Cross. He may have experienced fear when He asked the Father to remove the cup from Him in Mark 14:36. Jesus asked His disciples, His friends, to keep watch and pray in the Garden, yet they fell asleep and failed Him. He also experienced rejection by Peter, one of His dearest friends. He was tempted several times in the wilderness, so He truly knows what it means to be tempted. Jesus understands your situation because He experienced it firsthand.
