ForTheCauseOfChrist

Hebrews 2:17-18 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Now think about this,
Jesus Was made like us in Every Way! Every way!
He had nothing Magical about him, or something Unnatural about him, or anything in the Physical that is better than us.

He was Also Man on earth, Exposed to the Same temptations, Same Sufferings, Same Worries, Same Types of People, Same Danger...Etc etc!

So, we are no lesser of a person than Jesus!
YOu...Yes YOu!! Are made by God as He chose to make Jesus! Anointed to receive the Word of God and Power of God!

Now look at this...

18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.[NIV]

18For because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering]. [AmpBible]

Jesus Suffered in His humanity right...and He Overcame it!
he Overcame the Suffering, the temptation, resisted the Devil himself,used the Power of God in times Needed!!!

And Therefore, He is Able to HELP THoSE Who are Experiencing the same thing!!!

What is Jesus Doing?? can u follow me yet?

Well, think about this...What Jesus Was doing, was that He Was Preaching What He Practiced!!

Well, let me put it this way
Because he himself (practiced) when he was tempted, he is able to (preach to) those who are being tempted.

And Likewise, we Should Also Be Able to Preach What We Practise! (sure practice what u preach,but how bout the other way round?)
Can u Preach what u Practice, and is it still in line with the Word of God?
Because then,
You can help those who are suffering, because You have suffered, and Overcome..
You can help those who are in need, Because you have asked, and been provided..
You can help those who are in trouble, because you have Prayed, and Conquered!

You go peeps! =)

Taking Hold?!

1 Tim 6:11-12;But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Paul was addressing a Christian(man of God) to take hold of the eternal life we were called to!
That means,
1, we(those how have confessed) are all called to eternal life, not eternal death!
2, Christians Don't Automatically get eternal life, it's something we have to work for!
3,We have to take hold of the eternal life, like we really want it! (taking hold!!) not Think about it, or slack and Wait for it to come, but TAKE Hold of eternal life!
it is something that REquires us to do something as welll!!! we have to fulfill what God requires us to do in the Word of God!
