TOPIC: Jesus Is Not Out Of Touch With Your Reality (TREM Devotional 17 August 2023)
“We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin.” Hebrews 4:15 (MSG)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
Beloved, we have a High Priest that is gone to heaven. We have a Man that can identify with us. He is in heaven right now and His name is Jesus. He is there to tell the Father: I know what they are going through. Jesus knows what you are going through. He feels what you are feeling. He can identify because He sat where you are sitting.
There are some situations that you cannot express but the High priest is in a position to explain better what you cannot articulate. He knows what it is, to go without food and He knows what it is to be tried and tempted. He knows what it is to face challenges in life. The bible says He was in all points tempted but He didn’t fall and because of it He is our High priest. He is saying to the Father on our behalf: I know what it is for the enemy to bombard their minds, but they are holding fast. But He cannot speak effectively on your behalf, if you are not holding fast to the promise of God. That is why it is important that you hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering.
The book 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (KJV) says “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body” In other words, the enemy is buffeting us left and right and center and trying to make us get discouraged but we refuse to be discouraged because the more he is attacking the more the life of God is being manifest in us. Don’t ever believe the devil or fall for his lies. God has a great plan for your life.
