Hebrew 2:14-18 says that Jesus “had to be made like his brothers in every way,” suffering as he was tempted, which means he can help us as we are tem...
It’s important not to downplay Jesus’ time on earth leading up to his death, the things he learned, and the things he taught. You could argue that one of the things Western Christians most misunderstand about Jesus is his human side, especially given the point mentioned earlier about what Jesus learned by becoming human and suffering.
