Christ literally walked in our shoes.”
–Tim Keller
I cannot tell you how many times I have talked with someone about something they are experiencing and have heard them say, “You don’t understand.”
They feel that because I have not had the exact experiences they have had, I can’t possibly understand.
And, maybe that is true.
But Jesus Christ can. He walked in our shoes.
Literally.
He experienced everything we will ever experience.
He was loved and reviled, accepted and rejected, embraced and betrayed.
Fully God…fully man. Fully capable of feeling and experiencing everything I have ever felt or experienced.
But with one exception. He never sinned.
So, I m confident that when I come to Christ, he understands. And he teaches me to love as he did, to forgive as he did, to embrace the journey he has placed before me.
So I can walk in his shoes.
