"Who, if not the condemned Savior,
can fully understand the pain
of those unjustly condemned?
"Who, if not the King scorned and humiliated,
can meet the expectations
of the countless men and women who live without hope or dignity?
"Who, if not the crucified Son of God,
can know the sorrow and loneliness
of so many lives shattered and without a future?"

... it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. - Hebrews 4:15 (JB)
