1 Peter 2:22-23

1 Peter 2:22-23
22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
These verses show the great example Christ gave us for how to live our lives. He lived a life absent of sin, despite the fact that he encountered much greater tribulation than any of us could possibly imagine. We are told that through His earthly life, He placed his trust in the Father. Because of His perfection in the face of suffering and temptation we can know that our Savior knows what we go through; Hebrews 4:15 states,
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are,yet without sin”
