A High Priest Touched by Our Sufferings

God is all-powerful and all-knowing. But as God, He had never experienced hunger, physical exhaustion, or the pain of human betrayal from a human perspective.
So, He became a man.
Jesus felt the weight of physical limitations. He knew what it was like to be tired, thirsty, and rejected by His closest friends. He lived within the boundaries of human flesh.
Because He suffered these things, He is qualified to represent you. When you tell Him you are hurting, He does not just listen with pity. He understands from His own experience as a man.
Jesus does not just look down on your pain; He looks back at it from His own memory.
