Empathy is a strong emotion. It can drive us to come alongside those who are in similar situations. It can cause us to care in a deeper way for those with whom we share a concern or a difficulty. Because Jesus became one of us, He understands our struggles and weaknesses, for He endured this life Himself. As we receive His grace in our time of need, we are better able to come alongside others...-Dave Branon........John1:14 "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us."
