14.How can it be true that Christ understands all of our weaknesses?

Because He "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

We are comforted and strengthened when we realize that Christ actually was a human being—is a human being. In the days of His experience as a flesh and blood person He suffered much. The kinds of pains and burdens we humans bear were experienced by Christ.

He was not permitted to partake of many of the comforts and satisfactions of life on earth. The rights and privileges of an ordinary person were denied Him because of the awful responsibility that was His.

Christ is at the right hand of the Father today. He became acquainted with the various ways in which we are hurt, broken, crushed, bewildered, weary, anxious, terrified, hopeful. He is "touched with the feeling of our infirmities."
