He Himself Hath Suffered Being Tempted

Hebrews 2:17-18
"Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."

Imagine the Son of God, the Savior of the world, being tempted. In every way that we have ever been tempted, so has He. Jesus was tempted to lie, steal, lust, sexual impurity, gluttony, disobedience, and the list goes on. Yet He endured without sin.
There truly was no other way for Jesus to be our Friend and our Savior. God is just and righteous, yet through this human experience He showed His faithful mercy.
We often see God as the One to Whom we go for forgiveness after we have failed at resisting temptation. As well we should. However, we seldom see Jesus as the Source of assistance and aid during a time of temptation. Since He has been through it, He understands what we experience and therefore is not willing that we should endure it alone.
When was the last time I was tempted? What was my response? Do I seek Jesus for succor?
