For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.......Heb 4:15
"No one has ever gone through what I am going through!"
This might sound like you and many more millions around the world who feel their problems are unique to themselves, and that no one is able to help because nobody understands. Owing to this, many have even rejected every form of assistance and help choosing rather to deal with their problems all on their own.
The above scripture speaks of Jesus, the high priest who was tempted in ALL points and yet without sin. This simply means that He was tested in every way imaginable and passed in every sense of the word. Can you fathom that? Some may say, "well but Jesus was only tempted by the devil three times in the wilderness". Indeed! But the Bible continues "the devil departed from Him for a season", meaning the devil never gave up tempting Him in every area possible until the final cry, "It is finished".
Understanding that the world will present us with a million problems, Jesus comforted His disciples saying, "in this world you shall have tribulations. But be of good cheer, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD!" Hallelujah!!
How is His victory of any effect to me, you may ask. It's simple. When Fiji won the 7's world cup in 2005, in Hong Kong, every house in Fiji was shaking with the shout of victory. Yes, we may not have trained like our 7's gladiators; we may not have sacrificed like them, woke up as early as them, fasted like them, run like them, but when they won WE WON.
When Jesus overcame, He opened the path for us to overcome in every area of ours lives.
God Bless You
