We are told in scripture that Jesus is a sympathetic high priest.
But what does that mean?
What's it really mean?
Does he feel things with us?
Does he lament the things that we go through?
Does he weep with us?
Does he see?
Does he care?
John and I are going to have a conversation today about Jesus and his heart towards sinners.
We're going to try to have this conversation in the context of historical orthodoxy and all of the appropriate theological considerations.
And we're going to look to the scriptures to see that we have a compassionate, sympathetic, gentle, lowly, and tender Savior who understands us, who's with us, who's for us, and we can trust him.
We hope you're encouraged.
Stay tuned.
If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.
It's called pietism.
Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?
That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.
It's dread versus joy, really.
That's pietism.
Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.
