Beyond the Gospels: Hebrews

Today’s Verses: Hebrews 4:14-5:10

This is one of the most comforting verses found in Scripture. Jesus is fully God, fully human. A man capable of sin, but chose no sin.  A man subject to desires like us, hunger, disappointment, weariness, sadness. Just. Like. Us. When I think about it, really ponder it, I am filled with praise. God didn’t have to wrap himself in flesh and walk among us, but He did. He did it so that we might know He understands, He’s been there… done that.

Whatever we come up against in this life, we are not alone in it. Our God comes even now in this moment assuring us we are never alone. Praise be to God!

Prayer Challenge:
Think about every temptation you face or have faced. Those you’ve resisted and those you’ve fallen prey to. Picture Jesus struggling the same way you have, only not giving in to temptation. Now, come before His throne of grace honestly and openly sharing your struggles and failures with Him. Ask for forgiveness. Ask for healing. Ask Him to lead You in His Way.
