Let me ask you a question: what are your weaknesses? You know we all have weaknesses. We don't like them, but they are still there. Some are weak when it comes to physical appetites and the lust of the flesh. Others are weak when it comes to the issues of jealousy, anger, greed, or pride. Here is the good news. Whatever your weaknesses, the Lord Jesus doesn’t excuse it, but He does understand it because He was tempted in all things are we are.” The big difference is this … He never succumbed to the temptation, not even once. And because He never sinned, He is our perfect sacrifice who has made a way for you and me as sinners to draw near to a holy God and receive His grace ... to help us in our time of weakness. God knows everything about you and me ... and loves us still, EVEN when we fail and fall. Listen, take time each day to thank the Lord for His love … because it is real, and it is everlasting! Now that's REAL HOPE.
