Jan 2016 - ABLE TO SUCCOR - Card Verse for the Day by Dorothy C.
Hebrew
2:18 NIV, “Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help
those who are being tempted”. KJV, “For
in that He Himself hath succour them that are tempted”.
The
modern dictionary use “succor” means to help, aid, relieve, assist; to be eager
to help that one runs to the cry of a person. WHAT A PICTURE OF JESUS CHRIST!
THE ONE (JESUS) RUNS TO THE CRY OF A PERSON. He has heard our cry in all of our
suffering and pain, trial and temptation; and He has run to help and deliver
us.
Just
think! He has been made like us in order to feel with us and deliver us. He has
become the perfect High Priest. He needed to do this in order to experience
every situation, condition, and trial of man. He experienced the most
humiliating experiences you can ever imagined. He experienced . . .

(Outline by Preacher’s Outline and Sermon
Bible)
And
Jesus Christ suffered so much more, but the point to note is this: in each of
these experiences His suffering reached the depth of humiliation. Christ stooped to the lowest experience in
every condition in order to become the Perfect
Sympathizer (Savior). This is the reason He can now identify with and feel
for any person’s circumstances.
No person ever comes close to the depth of
suffering and humiliation He bore. Jesus Christ can succor—help, feel for, care
for, and look after—every person no matter their condition, trial, or
temptation. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God,
believe also in Me….I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you” (John
14:1, 18).
Prayer:
Oh Jesus, thank You for hearing our heart’s cry … Teach us to believe in Your
Words that You will not leave us comfortless and that You will come to us, heal
us, deliver us and many more. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen!
Dorothy:
What impressed me? This is the most amazing small Card Verse that could turn to
almost a Manna to me. I have never seen so much information about what Christ
has gone through so much. It made me realize that our sufferings are small
compare to what Christ has gone through. It helped me to stay on with His Word
of promise that He will not leave us comfortless. He will not leave us without
any comforts. He will comfort us.
So
let us trust Jesus today, shall we?
Song: Jesus Took
My Burden
(Inspiring Choruses)
Yes,
Jesus took my burden
I could no longer bear;
Yes,
Jesus took my burden
in answer to my prayer;
My
anxious fears subsided,
My spirit was made strong,
For
Jesus took my burden
and left me with a song.
