S – Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters pertaining to God, to make atonement^, for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. 

Hebrews 2:17–18 CSB

O – Jesus came in human form and was completely God and man at the same time.  This allowed for a true representation of both God and man.  This allowed him to express mercy and faithfulness as a human.  Also, he can identify with the challenge of temptation.

A – It says a lot about a leader when they step into your “mess” and help you navigate your way out.  It is the epitome of servant leadership when you join with someone instead of just giving instructions.  That is our Savior.  He stepped into all we face today and can identify with our challenges.  It allows us to draw closer to Him.

R – Heaven Father, you are the one, true God.  Thank you, Jesus, for coming to earth to experience what we do daily.  You understand and identify with our challenges.  We invite your Holy Spirit to lead us and bring us your presence, power and peace.  We step towards you with great expectation.
