We've learned that Jesus is God, that He is superior to all, even to angels; that He is always the same and will be there for us for ever and ever. Have you also heard that Jesus is fully human?
The Holy Bible tells us,
"Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity...For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way..." (Hebrews 2:14 & 17).
Jesus shared in our humanity and was made like us human beings in every way. There was one big difference however, He never, ever sinned. He was,
"...tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin." (Hebrews 4:15).
Therefore, we can state that Jesus is fully human. He showed us His human side often. He got tired and slept in a boat, rocked fearsomely, I might add, by a storm. He got humgry after fasting 40 days in the wilderness. He had a human mother. He got tempted as the verse above tells us. He got thirsty when on the cross and even felt pain and suffering.
Throughout all His life on Earth, Jesus never sinned. He was perfect and the perfect one to die and take the punishment for our sins. He was the perfect one
"to break the power of death and Satan" (see Hebrews 2:14).
He could do all this because besides being fully human, He was also fully God.
Let's praise Jesus together. He is the one who died for you!
Father God, thank You so much for sending Jesus as fully human, but who never sinned, to die for my sins. I praise You for this forever gift of Savior and salvation. Help me to now grow my relationship with Him that is unshakeable.
In Jesus' precious name I ask, Amen.
