" But Jesus the Son of God is our great High Priest
who has gone to heaven itself to help us;
therefore let us never stop trusting Him.
This High Priest of ours understands 
our weaknesses,
since He had the same temptations we do,
though He never once gave way to them and sinned.
So let us come boldly to the very throne of God
and stay there to receive His mercy 
and to find grace to help us in our times of need."

~ Hebrews 4:14 - 16 LAB

Bible Commentary: "Jesus is like us because He experienced every kind of temptation we experience today. But He is different because, although He was tempted, He never sinned. Jesus is the only human being who has ever lived without committing sin. Now in heaven, He completely understand our weaknesses and temptations and offers forgiveness.

"Prayer is our approach to God. Some Christians do it meekly with head hung, afraid to ask God to meet their needs. Others pray flippantly with little thought. Come with reverence, for He is our King, but come with bold assurance, for He is our Friend and Counselor."
