Hebrews 4:15 - "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."
We'll be looking at the Incarnation in the Catechism reading today (WSC 20). Part of the comfort of the Incarnation is that Jesus Christ can sympathize with our weakness, and our temptations.
Not only CAN He, sympathize
with us. He DOES.
The point of conviction
for us today: do we sympathize with the struggles of our neighbors?
So often we are looking
out for our own troubles, and all we see in our children, or our spouses, is how
they aren’t measuring up. We are quick
to criticize, to condemn others, not noticing the struggle going on in them. But our Savior doesn’t break a bruised reed (Isaiah 42:3), He doesn’t snuff out a smoldering candle.
Let us help the weak wherever we can.
