On Understanding


God's advocate for us is not elite;
His hands have gotten callused with hard work.
He's one of us, has known pain and defeat;
Has not been raised apart with favored perk.
Our Savior knows just what we're going through;
He understands too well temptation's lure.
But even though he's lived our point of view,
This man we know as Jesus remains pure.
He shows us it is possible to live
Amid the draw of sin, this worldly pull,
And though we stoop and fall He will forgive,
Regardless of our state His love is full.
            Christ intercedes for us to God; He knows
            Just what it's like to live the status quo.

For we have not an high priest which cannot
be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
 but was in all points tempted like as we are,
yet without sin.

Hebrews 4:15 KJV
