God your Lord has become like you, flesh and blood, to share your grief and sympathize with your frailty.
“Therefore He had to be made like His brothers in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.” [Hebrews 2:17]
