Hebrews 2:18 … That he Himself was tested<br />
(11/05/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able <strong>to</strong> help those<br />
who are being similarly tested.” ~ unknown (Hebrews 2:18)<br />
Again, this verses reflects two Truths often ignored by most Christians –<br />
first, that Jesus was a human being just like all his followers (both those<br />
contemporary and those more modern-day), meaning that anyone & everyone can<br />
choose <strong>to</strong> live just as magnificently as he did (see John 12:44-47) -- and second,<br />
that our salvation comes from within, not from “above”; that all we must do <strong>to</strong><br />
transcend times of trial or turmoil is purposefully set aside our fears long enough<br />
<strong>to</strong> enliven The Way of Christ – long enough <strong>to</strong> actively Care for another instead<br />
of mentally fret for self.<br />
