Devotional Reflection

As we are tempted, Jesus was tempted as well! In the same way that we suffer, He also suffered! In His kindness, God ensured that there is someone in heaven who knows what it is like to suffer pain and death. Omniscience is not the only characteristic of this knowledge. Jesus also states that the knowledge in heaven is derived from human experience. Don't you think it is great that Jesus was familiar with suffering and death, and that He is still alive to redeem, bless, and help us mortals?

Prayer

I know You know me and what's best for me, loving and all-powerful God. But, Father, I'm even more sure that You care about me and understand me because Jesus fought with us against suffering and death. Thank You, Jesus, for speaking up for me at the right hand of the Father. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
