Many times in our lifetime, we encounter moments when there is so much trouble that we feel like nobody cares. We may feel like no one is concerned about our particular problems. There is somebody who is concerned. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He understands because He has experienced what we go through.

Sometimes poverty comes and threatens our lives. We face loss of jobs, no money to buy the essentials we are accustomed to, and we are displaced in our position in society. Does anybody understand? Jesus understands.

2 Corinthians 8:9 tells us, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” He was homeless.

We read in Matthew 8:20, “And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head.”

Sometimes we are betrayed and feel worthless and empty. Loved ones, friends, a spouse, or an employer may betray us and leave us in a dark and hopeless life.

Our Lord knows about betrayal. One of his own disciples betrayed him.

Luke 22:2-6, “And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.” Luke 22:47 says, ”And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?”

Sometimes, death walks in and takes away a loved one and our heart. We die within and think nobody understands. Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords understands.

John 11:32 -36 shows us his love for others and how he feels what we feel in bereavement. “Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. And said Where have you laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!”

He is the Son of God, sent to die for the sins of the people, to be the sacrificial lamb so that we can have salvation through him. Yet he was born in a stable, misunderstood and mistreated. He has walked in the paths we are walking through and more. He is a friend who truly understands and can give comfort. In Hebrews 13:5, he promised us, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Yes, there is somebody who understands you and loves you. Trust and pray to him today.
