Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
In der Bibel sind nur ganz wenige Dinge vermerkt, die Jesus tun “musste”. Dieser Vers ist aber ein entscheidender Vers. Jesus musste einer von uns werden. Wir merken, dass er das tat, um uns, seinen Brüdern (und Schwestern) in allem gleich zu sein. Der Grund dafür? Er wollte der vollkommene und treue hohe Priester werden, der nicht nur für unsere Sünden einsteht, sondern gleichzeitig auch das Sühneopfer für uns wird. Unglaublich!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
There are very few things the Bible says Jesus "had" to do. Becoming like us is a key he had to do things! Jesus had to be one of us, one with us, and one like us. Notice that Jesus did this so he could be like us in every way. Why is that important? So he could be the perfect and faithful high priest who not only made atonement for our sins, but he could also be someone we could fully trust because we know he understands our struggle with our sinful world. And now that we know this, we can trust Jesus to intercede for us! We can have complete confidence that he knows our struggles with mortality — not just because he is God and knows all things but because he also has been through life in our mortal world with all of its challenges, pains, difficulties, temptations, and hardships and personally experienced them in human flesh (Hebrews 2:14-18, 4:14-16).
