How do we know that Jesus understands our suffering?
Answered in 3 sources
We know Jesus understands our suffering because He experienced temptation and trial similar to ours, allowing Him to empathize deeply with our pain.
Jesus' life on earth included various trials and sufferings, as noted in Scripture. From physical hunger to emotional betrayal, He endured much of what we experience, making Him intimately acquainted with human suffering. Hebrews 4:15 emphasizes that He was tempted like us in every respect. This helps Christians understand that they are not alone in their struggles; Jesus sympathizes with them because He shared in human experiences.
