Heb 4:14-16 Originally posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 5:21am

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

This brings to mind my own hypocrisy. I say that I follow Christ, yet so often my actions deny him.
But there is hope.
16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Jesus was tempted in every way that I am. Yet he was without sin. Because of this he understands what I am going through every day. I can turn to him in those times when temptation is taking hold.
