At the begining of this verse the written of Hebrews is telling the audience that we do not have anyone who can sympathize with us as human beings. Then he goes on to say that we have One who has been tempted just as we are tempted. This is where wee find peace and refuge in our day to day stuggles. Knowing that God was tempted just as I am tempted gives me hope that I won't fall into the temptation. This is what verse 16 is all about the writter is ecouraging us to draw close to God. When we do we will find mercy and strength when we come into times of trouble.
I believe Jesus had to be tempted so we could have a closer and better relationship with him. So he will be able to better understand what we go through when we are tempted. I praise God each day that He understands my temtptation and will help me go through it.
