Scripture:  Hebrews 2: ¹⁷ For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
¹⁸ Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Observation:    Jesus was God, not human.  Yet in order to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of man, he had to be “made…fully human in every way.”  He is the perfect helper for man, because as a man he was tempted in every way as we are tempted.

Application:   The more I meditate on what Jesus did for me, the more I am amazed at His love for me and His grace to me.  How unworthy am I of such love!  How can I withhold anything from Him Who withheld nothing for me?

Prayer:   Lord, today is for You and Your glory!   Amen.
