When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He was tempted in all things. He felt pain when He suffered; He experienced a great deal of suffering and encountered many persecutions. When He experienced these temptations, He had the smae feelings as we do. Therefore, He can sympathize with our weaknesses.
The Lord sympathized with man's weaknesses, but He never sypathized with sin. The Lord Jesus was tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin. He never said, "I sympathize with your sins; therefore, I forgive you." He sympathized with the weakness of man' flesh. What is the weakness of the flesh? It is the weakness in our soul.He sympathizes with this kind of weakness. When we suffer in the flesh, our soul feels uncomfortable. The Lord can sympathize with this kind of discomfort.
