Jesus truly understands our struggles and intercedes on our behalf.

We often try to comfort others who are going through a difficult time. But on occasion, our attempts to console create even more pain. Well-intentioned words like “You’re in my thoughts and prayers” or even “I understand” may feel empty to those who are struggling—unless we have endured something similar. We all long to feel understood, and today’s passage reassures us that our Savior truly sympathizes because He experienced struggles like ours.
The writer of Hebrews refers to Jesus as our High Priest. Each year the man serving in this capacity would enter the Holy of Holies and, in God’s presence, offer a sacrifice for sin. The priest was the Jewish people’s bridge to God. Christ not only took on this role, but He Himself also became the sacrifice when He died on the cross. Now He sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven and intercedes on our behalf (Heb. 1:2-4 < https://d5f7HB04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/5H+113/d5f7HB04/VXh2X12QX51lW2-RBp35G6T7bW3trWRD5DWFDcM7WCRK3m2nnW7Y8-PT6lZ3pFW7fZfPt8HF23yW8sFdcj8yzBX8V8CWyv9fD2cLW1lJ8816hrGW8W516x8971JZjRW1nmQqM5LVRJyW1sV01Q53dqhqN4zxcdbFF5MRW8kJLt746tTQ4W9gcB3y1fFspXW1lPTQP4NscFvW58GnSc2-12ddW7qpDw46W9467W2GJLqy295FjvW8WZclb1h_xpYW8x4p235SnlHyW92t_Hg885S1mW5TfK481MH7GsW1KhVqs2yS82dW2QQtPJ8cw_g7W8VZvWz4nf8LcW4yw5tT346QcqW3jWHjx2SjhlSN4qjX40zCK14VySQY88FNm49W30DQr24NRKB1f5L6BrP04 >; Heb. 7:25

That is tremendously encouraging, but even more than that, we know Jesus truly understands our pain and our weakness. He faced the very temptations, needs, and hurts we experience.
If you feel alone in the hardships you’re facing, recall Jesus’ trials and hurts. You’ll find comfort knowing that the One who loves you beyond all measure understands exactly how you feel.
