How does Christ sympathize with our suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Christ sympathizes with our suffering because He fully experienced the depths of human pain and agony.

The writer of Hebrews expresses that Jesus, our High Priest, is able to sympathize with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way we are, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15). This means that the sufferings He endured were true and deep, covering both physical and emotional anguish. His refusal to drink the wine mingled with myrrh signifies His commitment to fully experience the bitterness of death for mankind's sake. Understanding that Christ knows our sufferings allows Christians to come boldly to the throne of grace, trusting that He not only understands but also provides mercy and help in our times of need.
