ABLE TO AID

Hebrews 2:17-18

Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Encouraging Words

Why did Jesus choose to become a human? In order to truly redeem humanity from the grip of death, a human had to be able to defeat death. Jesus became that human and life a perfect, sinless life as a human so that by His death and resurrection, death would be defected. Through Him we have been redeemed. Since he lived His life as a human, tempted and yet not sinning, He can aid us when we are tempted. Glory be to God!
