Revelation of the Spirit - #12 He's been there already

This upcoming week is the second anniversary of my father's death. It was a rough experience but I got through it with God at my side. But one thing I really hated was when people would say " Oh I'm sorry, I know how you feel" or "I understand exactly what you're going through". After so many remarks I just want to get up and yell you have know idea what i'm going through! I hated people saying that it just didn't make sense how they knew how I felt or how they understood what I was going through.

I feel often like that when i'm with God. Like how can God expect us to be sinless? He hasn't been there He doesn't know. But He does. For He sent his son to this earth to understand and endure more pain than we will ever have to.

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin."
Hebrews 4:15

That's right. Jesus was here and the devil tempted Him with sin just as he does us. But Jesus knew that His life was to be an example that sin is not the way. That is Father is the way and sin is not easy to be resisted but can be.

Isn't that great? He knows what we're going through. He knows exactly what we're going through, He does more than sympathize with us. He takes our burden, our struggles and died so that we wouldn't have to bear them. I'm sooo happy he did that :)

Praise God that He knows what we're going through!

Amen.
