Hebrews 2:14-18
Excerpted from: Four Views of Christ (Part 5)The angel said at the very beginning, "Unto you a Savior is born." Yes, but also, a Man was born and nothing in man's milieu [domain] is now alien to Him, because He came and He shared life on our terms. He was born a Brother to us that through God's grace we might be linked to Him.
He enables us, by His experience and through His office of, not just the Apostle preaching the message, but the High Priest who shared our experience, is now resurrected, and at the Father's right hand. Because He has done these things He can now succor us. He is able to understand in a way He could not understand before. He learned things by obedience, by the things that He suffered, and that is what the book of Luke is trying to get across to us—that He is fully capable of doing what God has assigned Him to do as our High Priest. Our salvation is thus assured because of what He did.
Hebrews 2:14-18
Excerpted from: Are You Strong in the Lord?Now before we can show sympathy, we must experience the same things the other person has gone through, and that is exactly what Jesus Christ did and why He is, as in all things, the greatest in understanding of these things. Because Jesus sympathizes with us, He can help. He has experienced our sorrows and faced our temptations. As a result, He knows precisely what we need when He helps us and provides it.
So Jesus was not only ready to suffer, He did suffer, and having come as a man and in the likeness of sinful flesh, He was Himself subject to temptations, and the reason for this is given: "For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He can aid those who are tempted."
Hebrews 2:14-18
Excerpted from: Four Views of Christ (Part 2)When we see this figure applied to Christ, expect to see Him portrayed in terms of having human feelings, mostly in terms of characteristics that animals simply are not capable of. They may have types of them—how about empathy? Can a dog really feel with you? Or a cat, or a cow? Can they really share your feelings? But another human being can. In order to be High Priest, Jesus Christ had to become one with us.
Hebrews 2:17-18
Excerpted from: Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment!So knowing that Christ suffered and faced temptation helps us face our trials. He understands our struggles because He Himself faced them as a human being, and we can trust Him to help us endure suffering and overcome temptation. When we face trials, we must go to Jesus for strength and patience, and He understands our needs and can help.
