Hebrews 4:15-16
New King James Version (NKJV)
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
My Reflection: I like how this scripture points out that the people who become our religious leaders, are exactly that...PEOPLE. They are tempted just as we are. However, they are often chosen to be our leaders because they have been able to somewhat resist the temptations a bit better than the rest of us. This leads us to hold them to a higher standard, so they fall a bit farther when they do succumb to temptation.
