For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:15
The New King James Version
Says the Apostle, “For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.”
And again we are told, “For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens.”
“Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We (do) have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.”
That is, we have One who is abundantly qualified to sympathise with us in our afflictions, possessing an understanding that goes beyond mere words, deeply resonating with the weight of our burdens. In our darkest moments, when despair threatens to overwhelm us, we can find solace in the truth that to Him, we may look for aid and support in trials that test our resolve and challenge our spirits.
Such tenderness and pity, poured forth from the depths of divine compassion, has our Great High Priest, who walks alongside us through the valleys we encounter, ensuring that we never face our struggles alone, but rather are embraced by a love that knows our pains intimately.
“Since Jesus came to dwell with us, we know that God is acquainted with our trials, and sympathizes with our griefs. Every son and daughter of Adam may understand that our Creator is the friend of sinners. For in every doctrine of grace, every promise of joy, every deed of love, every divine attraction presented in the Saviour’s life on earth, we see “God with us.”
