Advocacy

Who among us the most effective advocate?

Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Heb 2:14-18

As I am being prepared to minister to another, I am not following this model of our LORD? Does God use us to lead others by first leading us out? Though always without sin, He became acquainted with their suffering (condition, limitation, bondage) as a firsthand and personal experience.

Jesus was "made to be like them."

“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
