“Christ is as sensible of our condition as His own. ‘We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmity.’ (Heb. 4:15)
The Lord Jesus is full of sympathy and tenderness (Heb. 2:17), that He might be a merciful high priest.
Though He has left His passion, He has not left His compassion.
Christ intercedes feelingly.”
–Thomas Watson, A Body of Practical Divinity, in The Works of Thomas Watson, Volume 2, Ed. J. Stephen Yuille and Jordan Stone (Grand Rapids, MI: Reformation Heritage Books, 2026), 2: 264.
