Hebrews 2:17-18. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."
And this is the reason why he suffered, and why he became a man capable of suffering, that he might be able to succour the tempted. It was for this that Christ left heaven, for this he was born of the virgin, for this he lived, for this he died, that he might be "able to succour them that are tempted."
This exposition consisted of readings from Hebrews 2, 3.
