Christ's Abiding Sympathy
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…


Trajan, the Emperor, being blamed by his friends for being too gentle towards all, answered that being an Emperor he would now be such toward private men, as he once, when he was a private man. wished that the Emperor should be towards him. Christ hath lost nothing of His wonted pity by His exaltation in heaven.

(J. Trapp.)
