Amen Me!

Christ Became Flesh
Hebrews 2:14 - 18

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers
of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part
with them, that he might destroy through death, him
that had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 And that he might deliver all them, which for fear
of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For he in no sort took on him the Angels’
nature, but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him
to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
be merciful, and a faithful high Priest in things
concerning God, that he might make reconciliation
for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he
is able to succor them that are tempted.

Editor’s thought - How often have we, when in the process of prayer, do we say unto Him “Lord you don’t know what I’m going through.”? And yet our Savior’s trials and tribulations put Him well above most everything we can ever experience. So YES indeed He KNOWS, what it is like to be human. He understands because He once WAS as we are now. That is to say He was once flesh.
