Title: Humanity of Jesus!

‭Hebrews 5:7 KJV‬

[7] Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Devotion: In the book of Hebrews, the writer paints a vivid portrait of Jesus' humanity: “In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence” (Hebrews 5:7-8 ESV). 

“In the days of His flesh …” Picture it: Jesus, fully God and fully human in the flesh, intimately connected with human emotion and experience.

Jesus wasn’t a distant deity untouched by the struggles of human existence while on earth. He lived it. He experienced the deepest joys and sorrows of life.

 Maybe today, you find yourself in the depths of sadness or in the middle of a difficult trial. Remember, Jesus has been there, too. The writer of Hebrews wrote this to remind you that Christ wept then the same as you do today and to remind you that you are not alone in your pain, sorrow, and suffering.

 Your Savior, who walked the same path you do, yet without sin and with great hope, stands ready to carry your burdens. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

So today, what if you allowed God to hear your raw emotions, doubts, and fears that you’ve been carrying? What if you bore it all before the Father? Jesus say in Matthew 7: 7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" I therefore urge you dear reader do not despair come to Jesus with your prayer requests and He will answer you in Jesus name. Hallelujah.
