Read Hebrews 5:1-4
While we may not be comfortable hearing it, most Christians understand that in relation to God, we can be very ignorant and misguided (aren’t you glad scripture doe not hold back any punches here?). High priests are able to deal with people like us because they are also “beset” with weakness. That makes perfect sense as we think of earthly priests, but the author is speaking, not merely of priests in general, but also of Christ. Meditate today on what it means for Christ to be beset with weakness. How does this make him a greater high priest to us?
