Hebrews 4:15 (NKJV) 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.
He cares. He knows and He completely understands us. He has been tested in every way. He knows what we need in that moment and hour of sorrow, pain, sadness and desperation.
He provides strength for each one of us and a way to get through whatever we face. If we obey and surrender, we will come out with victory!
His compassion for us is so real. The Bible says He wept when He heard about the death of Lazarus.
John 11:35-36 (NKJV) 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
Another time that Jesus wept was over Jerusalem.
Luke 19:41 (NKJV) 41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it…
For it would be destroyed because they were blind to the true nature of His kingdom, and they would reject Him. As a result, it would be destroyed.
Jesus loves deeply and He felt pain at times. He knows our pain for sure.
Another time that He was in tears was in Gethsemane, when He was drawing close to the time of His death on the cross. He cried out in deep anguish to His Father. No one could ever understand what He was dealing with in that hour.
Hebrews 5:7 (NKJV) 7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear…
We are not alone today or any day. We have a great High Priest, Jesus Christ, Who has been through more than we would ever know. He can sympathize with us.
Run to Him.
Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
