Jesus Understands

If I’m suffering from chronic pain and go to a physician for help, I expect him to know what he’s talking about – to be able to explain what’s happening in my body. His knowledge gives me confidence that he’ll select the appropriate treatment. But if the doctor goes on to say, “I’ve had that same chronic pain. I know what it’s like to toss and turn all night long in agony,” then I really pay attention. It gives me more confidence when the doctor understands my condition from both knowledge and personal experience.
And that’s the way that Jesus understands us! Jesus has been where we are! He has faced our same needs, been tempted as we are, gone through our kind of difficulties.
This is the kind of God we can have confidence in! We can pour out our troubles to him knowing that he will understand!
