“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect, (in all points, faced all of the same testings) has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

Have you ever felt alone, rejected, abandoned, misunderstood? So did Jesus. Are you single, unattractive, still living at home? Jesus understands. And He is our High Priest.

The saying “my yoke is easy and my burden is light” is part of a larger passage (Matthew 11:28–30), in which Jesus tells all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest.

As I have sought to know the love of God, the incredible fringe benefit is I have gotten to know God Himself.

On September 20, 1976 I began reading the scripture every day with the goal of reading through the bible in a calendar year. This has been the best investment of my time and the most productive discipline I have engaged in as a Christian.
