What does it mean that Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way, but remained without sin.

The fact that Jesus sympathizes with our weaknesses is profoundly comforting. In Hebrews 4:15, it states that He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin. This means that Jesus truly understands our challenges and struggles, as He has experienced human suffering and temptation. His sinlessness allows Him to perfectly empathize with us while also being able to intercede effectively for our needs. Just as we feel the pain of our body with injuries or distress, Jesus feels our pain and intercedes for us before the Father.
