Hebrews 2: 18 - Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested. (Also ref Heb 4: 15)
Private pains, deep hurts, shameful addictions... You may think that nobody understands what you are going through, but God does. He can identify with all your pains and is able to help you. (Heb 2:18, 4:15)
Jesus also suffered at the hands of men—slanderers who misunderstood Him… insinuations that He was born out of wedlock (John 8: 41). That scandalous remark, probably not the first, must have hurt Him.
Consider also the temptations He faced. Perhaps there were more than three. Because God’s Word says that He was tempted for 40 days! (Luke 4:2).
Thought for the day!
There is no temptation or suffering that you are going through that Jesus cannot identify with or give you His grace to overcome.
