What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Jesus understands our struggles, temptation, alcohol abuse, sin, and remorse. Quotes from Ellen White about Christ’s compassion and understanding of our weakness."
Answer
Ellen White describes Christ as a Savior who understands temptation and human weakness through personal experience and is able to help those who are tempted. She expressly emphasizes that He also meets people with deeply ingrained desires for narcotics and stimulants with compassion. Christ does not reject those who are truly repentant, but invites sinners and the fallen to accept His grace.
Christ has compassion for human weakness
»It is not an easy matter to overcome a firmly established taste for narcotics and stimulants. This great victory can be gained only in the name of Christ. […] He has pity on the weakness of human nature. His love for fallen man was so great that He made an infinite sacrifice to reach him in his degradation and, through His divine power, finally raise him to His throne.«
Christ understands temptation and does not reject the repentant
»Jesus was tempted in all points like as we are, that He might know how to succor those who are tempted. […] The Saviour was full of compassion and love; He never rejected the truly repentant, however great their guilt. […] He knows the sins of men; He knows all their deeds, and reads their secret motives; yet He does not turn away from them in their sinfulness.«
Christ sympathizes with those who are burdened and struggling
»Christ alone experienced all the sorrows and temptations that befall human beings. […] Having shared in all the experiences of humanity, He could not only feel for every burdened, tempted, and struggling person, but feel with them.«
Christ bears our weakness and keeps His hand outstretched
»Year after year He has borne our weakness and ignorance, our ingratitude and waywardness. Notwithstanding our wanderings, our hardheartedness, and our neglect of His sacred word, His hand is still stretched out. […] The Lord God, through Jesus Christ, reaches out His hand all day long in invitation to the sinful and fallen. He will receive all. He welcomes all. It is His glory to forgive the greatest of sinners.«
Christ treats people with harmful habits with tenderness
»Even those who had fallen lowest He treated with respect. […] Whatever bad habits, strong prejudices, or ruling passions people might have, He always met them with merciful tenderness. […] We will regard all people as brothers and sisters, with similar temptations and trials, who often fall and struggle to rise again and are longing for compassion and help.«
