Christian at Work Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are… There is no warmer Bible phrase than this. We might have never so many mishaps, the Government at Washington would not hear of them; and there are multitudes in Britain whose troubles Victoria never knows; but there is a throne against which strike our most insignificant perplexities. What touches us touches Christ. What robs us robs Christ. He is the great nerve-centre to which thrill all sensations which touch us who are His members. I. He is touched with our PHYSICAL infirmities. II. He is touched with the infirmities of our PRAYERS. He will pick out the one earnest petition from the rubbish, and answer it. III. He is touched with the infirmity of our TEMPER. IV. He sympathises with our POOR EFFORTS AT DOING GOOD. (Christian at Work.) Parallel Verses KJV: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. |
