How do we know Jesus being a sympathetic High Priest is true?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 4:15 supports the truth that Jesus is a sympathetic High Priest who understands our struggles due to His own temptations.

The truth that Jesus is a sympathetic High Priest is firmly grounded in the Scriptures, particularly in Hebrews 4:15, where it is articulated that He is 'touched with the feeling of our infirmities.' This means that He genuinely understands our weaknesses and struggles because He was fully human and experienced temptation in all its forms. His unique nature as both fully divine and fully human equips Him to empathize with us profoundly. Additionally, His suffering and trials, as mentioned in Hebrews 2:18, not only qualify Him to intercede for us but also assure us that He is capable of providing the help we need when we face struggles in our own lives. This combination of His divinity and humanity solidifies our confidence in His sympathetic role as our High Priest.
