The deeper into weakness, suffering, and testing we go, the deeper Christ's solidarity with us.

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness." —Hebrews 4:16 –5:2 (ESV)

Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.
