"Therefore
He had to be made like His brethren in every respect, so that He might
become a merciful and faithful High Priest in the service of God, to make
expiation for the sins of the people (see
The
Day Of Atonement). For because He Himself has suffered and been
tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted." (Hebrews
2:17-18)"Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the
prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I
say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will
pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the
least of these Commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the
kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-18)
"And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that
where I am, there you may be also."
(John
14.3)
"Father,
I desire that
they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold
My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of
the world." (John 17:24)
