HE'S BEEN THERE

"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death, he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is, the devil - and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." Hebrews 2:14-15

I just got back from a week of summer Boy Scout camp with my son and his Troop. One thing I noticed was how the boys whose parents came up acted when their parents were there. They were a little more confident, a little more focused. 

I also watched some boys playing some basketball and there was a boy taller than most of the other boys. When he was on the team, those boys around him were pretty confident. He blocked shot after shot. In a similar way, we should know that since Christ is for us, it does not matter that the devil is against us, because Christ defeated death and the devil at the cross. 

When you are struggling with something remember that Christ became human to know and understand perfectly what we go through. Christ knows. Christ understands. He shares your struggles. If he dealt with death, the greatest of problems, he can surely deal with anything else.

Father, thank for sending Jesus to share in our humanity to rescue us completely! Open our eyes to see you in our lives. Praise be to you in us today!
