Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Are you feeling lonely, dejected and frustrated? Does it seem everything is going against you and there seems to be no way no matter how hard you try? Do you feel abandoned, betrayed and stranded? Today’s message is for you.
The Lord Jesus left his glory in Heaven and he humbled himself to appear in human form dwelling amongst us. He did this to identify with our weaknesses and frailties.
He knows exactly how you feel. He knows your pains, worries, anxieties and concerns.
While the children of Israel traveled in the wilderness to the Promised Land, they passed through a lot of difficulties. However, in all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old- Isaiah 63:9.
Whenever you feel sorrowful, disappointed or dejected, remember the Lord Jesus Christ has passed through worse situations. He knows how you feel and is standing beside you to strengthen and comfort you on all sides.
Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin. Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God.
Feel free to approach his throne of mercy and ask for grace anytime you are in need.
Prayer Nugget: Father, thank you for your Son Jesus Christ who feels what we feel.
