Here’s a truth only believers experience: Jesus understands our pain; He “gets” me. He understands our joy too. When unbelievers criticize followers of Christ by saying He is a crutch, I’ll agree with them. He’s what I lean on when I am impaired, or broken. He holds me up, and allows me to continue when “I can’t”. He understands me when no one else does. He sticks closer than a brother. He helps me get through life. I am dependent on Him to walk when I can’t, and to stand when I am weak. My response to the critic would be, “I’m saddened you see it that way. I’m sorry you’re missing out on such a beautiful blessing. Yes, Jesus is my crutch, and I’d take two of Him if I could.”
18 Since He Himself has gone through suffering and testing, He is able to help us when we are being tested.
