Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help (Hebrews 4:16).

We can always find reasons and ways to place #Jesus at a distance from us: He is the Son of God, and we are not. 

In Him the fullness of the Godhead dwells; we have not experienced any such thing. 

We therefore can imagine Jesus never really experienced #temptation since He was God.

But the Hebrews author worked very diligently to reduce that distance: Jesus really did experience temptation.  He really did learn obedience in all He suffered.  He really can #sympathize with us as we undergo the temptations and trials of this life. 

We do well to approach His throne of grace to receive mercy and grace at all times!
