Hebrews 2:18
Hebrews 2:18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Jesus is not only our Savior, but He is also our source of comfort in times of trial and temptation. This verse assures us that Christ, having suffered and been tempted Himself, is able to help us when we face temptation. His empathy and understanding are deep, as He walked through the same struggles we face. Jesus is the perfect High Priest, able to support and strengthen us when we are tempted. In moments of weakness, we can call on Him for help. He knows the struggle and offers us His grace and mercy. We can trust that He will give us the strength to overcome, as He has already conquered temptation and sin. His suffering becomes the source of our victory.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
2 Peter 2:9
The LORD knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed.
