empathy

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

- Hebrews 4:15-16

 

Aren’t we fortunate, to have someone that can not only empathize with us, but also show us compassion and grace? 

Oh, you know there is a song reference here:

Everyone needs compassion, love that’s never failing, let mercy fall on me,

Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior, the Hope of nations.

Savior, He can move the mountains,

My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save

Forever author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave

God can have compassion upon us because He experienced what we have felt—in every way.

God became a participant in suffering.

To think that God doesn’t understand what we are facing is so wrong!

He knows!

He is with us every single step of the way!

God came to earth to experience our weakness so we can live in the confidence that He knows us fully.

He is mighty to save.
