For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. ---Hebrews 4:15 Jesus is like us because he experienced a full range of temptations throughout his life as a human being. We can be comforted knowing that Jesus faced temptation---he can sympathize with us. We can be encouraged knowing that Jesus faced temptation without giving in to sin. He shows us that we do not have to sin when facing the seductive lure of temptation. Jesus is the only perfect human being who has ever lived. --- Life Application Study Bible notes PRAYER Lord, We thank you that we have a high priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. Who was tempted in every way, yet did not sin and who now stands before the throne of grace interceding on our behalf. So we bring our prayers before you with confidence, in the name of our ascended Savior, Jesus Christ, seeking your mercy and your grace. In Jesus’ name Amen
