Hebrews 2: 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Paul is explaining to the Jews how Jesus differed from the other men of faith in the OT. It is very significant to me, b/c I know that I want to spend time with Jesus. He "gets" me. I do not have to fear that I don't live up to his standards, even though I know I fall short of them, b/c he understands my human failings.
The Jesus in The Shack was a real eye-opener to me. I always thought that heaven might be boring, but not with Jesus there! He is the kind of friend we can't get enough of--the one who is always there for us in every way.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for sending Your son, Jesus, to live as one of us on Earth. Through all he experienced, we become closer to You. He IS my constant help.
Amen
Once again, I have chosen the same verse 2 years in a row. The Shack came to mind both times.
