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 - The Word became flesh. 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” 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. Are you so anxious you could die? He was too. Are you overwhelmed with grief? He was too. Have you ever prayed with loud cries and tears? He did too. 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.

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

 

The Word became flesh.

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.
