Sympathy

“In all their affliction he was afflicted.”
— Isa. 63:9

“Christ was ever the perfect sociable man, perfectly accessible to sinners because He was thoroughly separated from them, and set apart for God inwardly, and had denied Himself, to live only by the words of God. … Such is the life of God below. … If we are truly free within, we can sympathise with that which is outside.”
