Why is it important that Jesus understands our weaknesses?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' understanding of our weaknesses allows him to sympathize with us, enhancing his role as our high priest.

The importance of Jesus understanding our weaknesses lies in his ability to compassionately intercede on our behalf. The writer of Hebrews points out that Jesus, having been tempted and having suffered, knows our struggles intimately (Hebrews 4:15). This empathy is crucial because it assures believers that they have a high priest who does not just represent them but genuinely understands their plight and the challenges of the human experience.
