Because Jesus can empathize with us, he knows best our needs.
Rom2:4, Heb4:15
We have a priest who at all points tempted like we are today and yet never sinned. So he's able to understand us very well. To understand someone properly, you need to be in the person's shoes to have the feel of how it really feels like to be tempted. Jesus had been in that situation, even to the extreme. He is the only one who shares our pain, so in him, we are well understood.
Whatever Jesus gives us is in a bid to lift us up because he knows what we need so well. He knows us and wants us saved so he shows us his goodness which always leads us to repentance.
Brethren, we don't know what we need unless we're one with Christ. Knowing our needs comes from knowing Christ. As we behold him we will receive life-changing supports; blessing, strength, beauty, riches, goodness, and mercy to shape us even to become a better person in him. Shalom.
