Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:16
How did God reconciled a sinful people to a Holy God? He made Jesus like His brethren, to be tempted in all things, yet without sin. Jesus was always perfect, but He wasn't the perfect sacrifice until He suffered and learned obedience. That made Him a High Priest who understands and cares. How thankful we can be when He comes to help us in our time of need.
