God Gets You
,
Our high priest is able to understand our
weaknesses - Jesus
gets you. The God of the universe became a human just like you - He felt all
the emotions you have felt: fear, worry, hope, compassion. Jesus understands
what you are going through because he has gone through it too - and because of
this, you can go to God with your every need knowing He is in solidarity with you
and has ultimate triumph over any problem you may face

"For we do not
have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but
one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." - Hebrews 4:15 English
Standard Version
Does this promise matter?
If you ever wonder if God understands you, it does.
If you ever wonder if God listens, it does.
If you ever wonder if the Uncreated Creator can, in a million
years, comprehend the challenges you face, then ponder long and hard the
promise of the incarnation.
Jesus is “able to understand our
weaknesses” (Hebrews 4:15).
The One who hears your prayers understands your pain.
He never shrugs or scoffs or dismisses physical struggle. He had
a human body.
Are you troubled in spirit? He was too. (John 12:27)
Are you so anxious you could die? He was too. (Matthew 26:38)
Are you overwhelmed with grief? He was too. (John 11:35)
Have you ever prayed with loud cries and tears? He did too. (Hebrews 5:7)
He gets you.
Jesus Gets You
The God of the universe became a human just like you.
He felt all the emotions you
have felt: fear, worry, hope, compassion.
Jesus understands what you are
going through because he has gone through it too.
And because of this, you can go
to God with your every need knowing He is in solidarity with you and has
ultimate triumph over any problem you may face.
