I know that in Jesus we have an Advocate before the Father who understands and sympathizes with us. I’ve taken comfort in that truth many times; that my circumstances are ones that He understands fully because he walked in a physical body among humanity as well.
Today, as I read Matthew 14, I found a new facet of that. This passage is usually used to focus on the miracles of the feeding of the 5,000, Peter walking on water, and many being healed. Often, as we are prone to do, we read it looking for his acts rather than his person. Today, though, from a place of physical, spiritual, and emotional exhaustion, I read this passage again.
I found that Jesus was exhausted, too.
