Jesus Understands

"Jesus wept" is famous as the shortest verse in the Bible, but that is the real power of the assurance that Jesus understands what life is like for us.

Jesus knew temptation: Mark 1:13

Jesus knew frustration: John 2:15-16

Jesus knew proverty :Matthew 8:20

Jesus knew weariness : John 4:6

Jesus knew disappointment : Luke 13:34

Jesus knew rejection : John 6:66

Jesus knew sorrow : Matthew 26:38

Jesus knew ridicule : Mark 15:19

Jesus knew loneliness : Matthew 27:46

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)
