Hebrews 4:15- For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin.
We all go through some sort of pain in our lives. Sometimes, the pain seems unbearable and difficult to deal with. You may have lost a loved one recently. You may have just lost your job. Someone who you were so close to and cared about has just walked out of your life. Maybe you're dealing with the pain from a disease or sickness. No matter what kind of pain you're feeling right now, know this: Jesus understands. When you feel as if no one understands the pain you're feeling right now, know that Jesus feels what you are feeling right now. Our pain is incomparable to the pain that Jesus felt when he was pierced to that cross. Isaiah 53:5a illustrates that "he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities." The second part of this verse also points out that "the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5b) Pain is no surprise to Jesus. Jesus, "a man of sorrows," is "familiar with suffering." as Isaiah 53:3 points out. Jesus sees what you're going through. He feels the hurt you are feeling. When your heart aches, his heart aches too. Remember that he truly cares. He knows your pain. Tell him how you feel.
