Sometimes you just want to throw in the towel and quit... Life gets hard. There are battles, struggles, trials, and frustrations. Things are just hard. Yet, anything worth doing is going to be hard. Jesus, in His humanity, fully entered into the human experience, facing the same trials, struggles, and temptations that we do. Scripture tells us that He was "tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin" (Hebrews 4:15). He knew hunger, fatigue, sorrow, betrayal, and pain. He wept at the tomb of a friend, was misunderstood by His family, and rejected by those He came to save. In every moment of loneliness, temptation, or suffering we face, we can be assured that Jesus has been there. He doesn't just sympathize from afar—He empathizes as one who walked the same road. Because of this, He is not only our Savior but our perfect High Priest, able to offer both mercy and grace in our time of need. He's Been There. Join us this Sunday. - Pastor Jason
