Help comes to those who believe

 “...in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest... For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.” He is our faithful High Priest - the one who brings the sacrifice and is the sacrifice.

Through His suffering He identifies with us; through His identification with us, He sympathizes with us; and through His sympathizing, He can help us. He has met our sorrows, faced our temptations (Hebrews 4:14-15). We need a Savior, we need saving. He knows the help we need, and He can give it.

If we believe this, “let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). Because He shares our humanity, we can confidently come to Him in our sin and suffering.
