“We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help” Hebrews 4:15-16, Message Bible.
We often think of just the actual death of Jesus, yet let’s consider what it took to redeem us. Jesus had to walk on this earth sinless to be the perfect sacrifice. He had to be blameless and walk in love, and He did it. The same fight you have each day, he fought them and won them all. He knows and cares about the sin you face daily. He knows and cares about your situation, even the complexity of it. No one else may know you, but He sincerely knows what it’s like as a man to be tempted or challenged in every imaginable way. He also knows how to overcome any challenge you face. If you are struggling, you can do it through Him. He can and will be your Champion.
Prayer: Thank you, Father, for a new day. Jesus, you are my Lord and King. You are my Champion. I come boldly to you to get the help I need. You were tempted at all points and did not sin. You overcame every challenge. Show me and help me do the same. I believe and receive that you can help me to champion over sin. Through You, I believe I can champion over any situation. You overcame! I can and will overcome anything in my life today. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
