Yet Jesus is also our Brother, and the one who sanctifies us.

You are in process of being sanctified.

Jesus is our example, who demonstrated in His humanity how trust the Father.

He also is our advocate that has defeated our enemy the Devil!

Jesus is our Comforter in Suffering (16-18)

He is our faithful High Priest, who knows what it is to suffer and be tested.

He aids those who are suffering, persecution, trial, etc.

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, No, not one! No, not one!

None else could heal all our soul’s diseases - No, not one! No, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles, He will guide till the day is done; There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No, not one! No, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy .... and yet no friend is so meek and lowly

There’s not an hour that He is not near us … no night so dark but His love can cheer us!
