How do we know Jesus is able to sympathize with us in temptation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is able to sympathize with our temptations because He experienced genuine temptation Himself and suffered while doing so.

The ability of Jesus to sympathize with our struggles is central to His role as our High Priest. Hebrews 2:18 states that He suffered being tempted, and Hebrews 4:15 emphasizes that He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities. This means that Jesus fully understands the pressures and challenges of temptation because He faced them Himself. His experiences equip Him to intercede for us and offer us the grace we need during our trials. Knowing this should comfort believers, as we can approach Him in prayer, confident that He knows our struggles intimately.
