John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

There was nothing human in us that was alien to him.

He had a human mind, human affections.

Jesus knew what it was like to be:

betrayed,
abandoned,
he knew loss,
he was not a machine,
he wept,
he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with much grief,
He loved his friends,
He loved children - when all society disregard children around him, Jesus says, let them come
he laughed,
he knew fatigue - He knew sickness and pain
He knew our environment, he knew what it was like to walk, talk, he wasn’t soaring over Galilee, he was using his feet,
He knew what it was to be a man.

Has there ever been a time when you thought, does anyone else understand what I am going through?

Jesus does.

He was like us in every way except one, He did not sin (Heb. 4:15).

Why did He come?

Hebres 2:17-18 says, “Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.”

Hebrews 4:15-16 says, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.”

A less than fully human Christ is just as dangerous and heretical as a less than divine Christ.

He does understand and “get” what it means to be a man. However, He did not come to condone our sin, but to die for it. There was no one that called Jesus “friend” that did not call Him “My Lord and my God (John 20:28)!”
