In Hebrews 4:15 it says that Jesus understands our humanity. It's overwhelming to know that no matter what we go through Jesus understands.
This Christmas Eve I along with others have the privilege of serving in a homeless shelter. I’m thinking how could Jesus identify with this. Then I remember the story of His birth. Mary and Joseph traveled 90 miles to get too Bethlehem. It took them between 4 and seven days. It is believed it took closer to 7 because of Mary being so far along in her pregnancy. When they arrive all the “hotels” were full. So Jesus was born in a stable. A person who is homeless is like Jesus at his birth they have no where they can go. For many they live under an overpass to escape the winter elements or in the woods or perhaps an abandon building. In Matthew 8:20 it says that Jesus had no place to lay his head. Jesus has the incredible compassion and understanding of knowing how people really feel when they have no place to live. There are numerous scriptures that say that Jesus was rejected. It is one of the saddest things I have seen first hand is how homeless people are rejected and dis posed. You might not be homeless but whatever you’ve been through or going through our High Priest can totally understand… Jesus thank you…
