WELL TESTED

“SINCE HE HIMSELF HAS GONE THROUGH SUFFERING AND TESTING, HE IS ABLE TO HELP US WHEN WE ARE TESTED.” HEBREWS 2:18

When Jesus was sent to this world, he became well tested. From the very beginning he became human and was treated as such. As a young boy he had parents just as you and I. He grew up with his father a carpenter and I am sure probably learned the trade. As a child he went through the same struggles you and I went through. When he was chosen by God to be our High Priest and began his ministry, he became tested even more. His faith, his strength, his wisdom and his knowledge became tested from the very beginning. He was tested throughout his life but his maturity and growth in his Father God in heaven was greatly tested by the devil when he was taken to the top of the world and offered the devils worldly kingdom. Our Lord has gone through every temptation, every sorrow, every hurt and every doubt, fear and worry that you and I go through. Because he has been through suffering and testing, he is able to have a loving compassion for us when we go through our pain and suffering. He knows how we feel, and he knows how to help us. He knows well how to present our pleadings to our Father God in heaven. He is our Savior and our mediator. Without Jesus and what he went through for us we have no chance. But with our great faith and trust in him we have every chance. We must act upon his word and trust him to take care of us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
