He is able to succor

Hebrews Chapter 2 verses 17-18 read: “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted”. Jesus Christ, though sinless, willingly took up on Himself sin so that He could “be made like unto his brethren”—like unto you and I. Jesus had to suffer the total pain and punishment for sin so that He can now understand us completely when we sin. He always knows exactly how we feel, and “He is able to succor them that are tempted”. He has destroyed the bands of death and hell by descending into the depths of the grave and bursting the bonds of death. He has suffered immensely not only that our sins might be reconciled and we may be saved but also so that we can call upon Him when we feel alone—that no one understands what we are going through. He always understands and can offer empathy regardless of our circumstances. Whether we are suffering for the consequences of something we did, as a result of some one else making a poor decision, or for something beyond anyone’s control, Chris will always know exactly how we are feeling because He too has felt precisely what we are going through.
I know that the atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I know that He suffered infinitely for each of us, and I also know that He always understands just what I am feeling. There is no time that I cannot call upon Him for comfort, and I am extremely grateful for that. He makes it possible not only for me to have the opportunity to strive to become exalted in the next life but also that I might feel understood and at peace in this life.
