Jesus Understands

"For we have not an high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Hebrews 4:15

Are you experiencing problems with relationships? Are you experiencing problems on your job? Are you experiencing physical or emotional pain? Have you lost a loved one to death? Talk to Jesus about it because He understands. Your friends and your family may or may not understand but Jesus understands. He has been there.

Relationships - He lived with a human family who at one time thought he was crazy. (read Mark 3:20,21). He knew what it was like to be betrayed and misunderstood. And even today He has a Bride...the Bride of Christ who occasionally cheats on Him.

Work - He was a carpenter so he knew about work and work problems. I feel sure there were times when there was no work available and times when his carpenter tools broke or wore out. His hands were probably rough and blistered.

Pain - Jesus experienced emotional and physical pain. He was mocked, rejected and ridiculed by the very ones he was ministering to. Jesus lost his earthly father...the Dad he worked with in the carpenter shop. It is possible he walked his Mom home from the funeral of her sweetheart.

Yes, my friends, Jesus understands!!!

"Father, how thankful I am for a Savior who understands and cares for me. I pray for someone reading this post who has been reminded that you have experienced the problem they are dealing with and you are there for them as they choose to trust you. In Jesus understanding name, I pray." Amen
