How does Jesus show sympathy towards those who are tempted?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus shows sympathy for those who are tempted because He Himself was tempted in every way, yet without sin.

The sympathy of Jesus for those who face temptation is a powerful comfort for believers. In Matthew 4, we see that He faced real and serious temptations, which enables Him to truly understand our struggles. As Hebrews 4:15 indicates, Jesus was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. This means He can empathize with our weaknesses and offer help in times of temptation. Believers are encouraged to approach Him in prayer with their struggles, knowing that He is compassionate and able to extend grace and support in their time of need.
