Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
As long as we are in the world, we will be tempted to sin by the enemy. The enemy in many ways puts pressure on you to compromise, to give up on the principles of God, to give up your faith and your confession.
Our High Priest, Jesus was tempted in all points. There is no temptation that you will face that Jesus has not faced and overcomed. The verse says Jesus was tempted in all points and yet did not compromise or give up. He faced immense pressure to quit on the will of God, to forsake the purposes of God and to deny his faith, but He overcame it. Glory to God. This same Jesus who conquered all temptations is our High Priest, our representative, our help. When you are tempted, under pressure, don't give up, look to Jesus and acknowledge that He has defeated all temptations. When you look to Him in the midst of your challenges and temptations, you will receive grace and mercy to endure the temptations and come out victoriously just like Jesus himself. Every believer will face temptations in the world. We don't have a High Priest who doesn't understand our temptations, but was tempted in all points. He understands and can relate to the pressures and the temptations.
Friend, never say that Jesus doesn't understand what I am going through. Only Jesus understands because only He was tempted in all points. He wants to help you overcome the temptations. If you made a mistake, He wants to give you His mercy so you don't be and feel condemned. He wants to give you His grace so you have the strength to endure the temptations and overcome them. Come boldly and ask, for Jesus is your High Priest, He is there for you and He wants to help you. Take his mercy. Take his grace. This is your time.
