Scripture

Hebrews 2

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. 17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers 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 came down from heaven to share in our humanity and He experienced death so He could destroy the one that holds the power of death – that is, the devil. Jesus shared in our humanity and was tempted just like we are yet He did not sin. He understands what it is like to be human and He understands temptation.

He is able to intercede for us as faithful high priest before God the Father. He didn’t do that for angels, He did all of that for us!

Application

Jesus has provided me all that I need to live a Godly life. He intercedes for me today and He is ready to help me as I face temptation.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray that you give me the strength to overcome the many temptations that come my way. Help me to be Christ like today. Thank you for my family. Thank you for their good health. I pray that my grandchildren will all grow up following you and putting you first in their lives. I pray for our grown children that they too would follow you and not let other stuff come before their relationship with you! Turn their hearts towards you and soften their hearts and make them teachable! In Jesus Name Amen.
