Hebrews 4:14-16 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
One of the tricks the enemy tries to con us with is to make us think no one has ever been through what we've been through, or suffered the temptations we've suffered but these verses remind us that Jesus experienced all the feelings, the temptations, the emotional bombardments that we will ever experience but without sinning.
Not only that but on the cross He had every single one of our sins, no matter how horrendous, put on Him along with every sickness and disease man will ever know. Even people who have committed terrible atrocities against their fellow men can know God's forgiveness through Jesus. Jesus bore it all even our guilt and shame. (Isaiah 53:3-9)
Jesus experienced it all, carried it all in His own body for us because of His great love for us, and because of that, God our Father made Jesus to be our High Priest, the One we can come to, to intercede for us with our Father because Jesus understands our weaknesses.
So whoever is reading this whether now or at some point in the future please know that the punishment for our sins has already been paid for by Jesus, God has forgiven you already but our part is to repent and receive His forgiveness and make Him the Lord of our lives.
We can come 24/7 to His throne of grace and receive His mercy and help whenever we need it and it's all because of Jesus because He truly understands our weaknesses.
