Much like our ancestors Adam and Eve, our default when we sin is to hide from God, not to run to him. But in the Gospels we see that Jesus’s deep desire is for us to come to him. That he doesn’t hold us at arms length in our sin, but draws near so that he can rescue us from it. Because of his deity he has the power to forgive and save us, and because of his humanity he can sympathize with us and suffer with us. In other words, he gets it. We’re in Hebrews 4:13-5:2 this week. Jesus can deal gently with us and delights to—COME TO HIM! (This series is based in large part on insights from the book Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund.)
