The Son of God shared in our flesh and blood, took our humanity, became like us in every essential way, and can help us...
In encounters with a powerful man and a destitute woman, Jesus showed the authority of his word over sickness and death.
As the second Adam and the faithful Israel, Jesus resisted temptation and so can help us when we are tempted.
