Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus Christ is our High Priest. That means He is the one who is a go-between for us with God. The important thing that the writer is trying to convey is that Jesus is able to sympathize with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way like we are. We might think that God can't understand us, but by becoming man, God has gone through suffering and temptation as well. Jesus Christ does understand; He does sympathize; and He is able to pray to the Father on our behalf.
