Hebrews 4 -15
For we do not have a High Priest who,
cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
but was in all points tempted as we are,
yet without sin.
Do you sometimes wonder if God really knows,
what it is like to be poor , rejected by people,
or sick with aches and pains.
Perhaps you are asking,
Does God really understand what I am
going through?
My friend , Jesus was no stranger to,
emotional or physical pains , poverty or hardship.
He was born into a poor family.
He had a smelly manger for His birthplace.
(Luke 2 -7)
From an early age as a carpenter ,
He knew all about working hard with His,
hands, standing on His feet all day long,
and returning home with aches in His body.
The religious leaders of His day made life,
difficult for Him, they challenged His,
authority(Matthew 21 -23) and tested His,
teachings (Matthew 19 -3)They also called,
Him a glutton , winebibber , friend of
tax collectors and sinners(Matthew 11-19)
and blasohemer. (Mark 2 -7)
They said that He was demon -possessed
and mad(John 10 -20) put Him on the spot,
when they brought an adulterous woman to Him (John 8 - 2 -11)
attempted to stone Him.
attempted to stone Him.
(John 8 - 59 , 10 - 31- 39) and accused
Him of perverting the nation .(Luke 23 -2)
Have you been chased out of your home,
because of your Christian beliefs ?
Jesus understands what you are going through.
He was chased out of His own Hometown
(Luke 4 - 29) Have you been rejected,
by someone you love? Jesus also experienced,
the pain of being denied by a loved one,
(Luke 22 - 54 - 62) and betrayed by one,
considered close to Him,(Luke -22- 47-48)
He also knows all about the sickness you,
are suffering because He bore your sicknesses,
and pain on the cross.(Isaiah 53 -4 )
Jesus certainly understands all that we going,
through because being born fully Man
He was in all points tempted as we are.
He endured His sufferings for our sakes,
so that we can have His peace and the,
anointing to rise above the trouble we are facing!
