πŸ’‘πŸ‘‘ To Be Touched β€˜By’ Or To Be Touched β€˜With’?

It’s nuggets like this that make me love the Word of God more and more. In Hebrews 4:15, we read β€œFor we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

Notice God inspired the use of the word β€œwith” and not β€œby” the feeling. Now think of this illustration: If we are touched by poverty, we don’t necessarily have to experience it first hand because we can be touched by the poverty of someone we know. But if we are touched with poverty, we know the feeling precisely and intimately. The Strong’s definition here is β€œto be affected with the same feeling as another.”

Knowing this, doesn’t that give you even more hope and joy that our Saviour can truly empathize because, as a man, he was truly touched WITH the same feelings and temptations? And even though we are and will always be sinners in these earthly bodies, we can nonetheless rejoice in that heavenly hope and joy?
