"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." -Hebrews 4:15 (ESV)
There is an old saying that we cannot truly understand someone until we have "walked a mile in their shoes." We can be sympathetic and we can try to have empathy, but we do not know everything that is going on in the lives of others. As we look for understanding, we can be reassured that God knows us - just look at Jesus!
Jesus Christ came to earth as a human. He experienced living in an earthly body. He has experienced temptation. He came face to face with Satan. Even as the world changes, Jesus knows the difficulties we face because He has walked in "our shoes." What is even better is that even though He has lived on earth and walked in our shoes, He has not sinned. We have in Jesus not only the ultimate understanding of the difficulties we face, but a path to redemption that can help us overcome the challenges we face and the consequences of death!
Have faith and be reassured that Jesus Christ knows what you face and can help you overcome it!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to live on earth and to die as a sacrifice for my sin. Please forgive me for my sin and guide me as I strive to follow Your will. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
