I'm writing a paper on the English Puritan John Owen and his view of indwelling sin in the lives of believers. In his great (and vast) commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews, I came across this quote from his comment on Hebrews 4:16.“He is deeply concerned in all our infirmities, sorrows and sufferings. This is attended with an inclination and propensity to relieve us, according to the rule, measure, and tenor of the covenant; and herewithal, during the time of our trials, he hath a real motion of affections in his holy nature, which he received or took on him for that very end and purpose.”
Jesus, our Great High Priest, is concerned about us in our weaknesses and does not leave us alone, but has sent His Spirit to all of His own.
