John 1:14 says of Jesus … “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus, God the eternal Son, was made “flesh!”

So, it is Biblical to speak of His Humanity. Part of our video lesson, John 12:27 speaks of Jesus being “troubled.” Disturbed, maybe even somewhat perturbed! (I think over the unbelief all around Him!)

Recall in John 4 that one day, after walking all morning, Jesus sat down by a well, “wearied!” (A Greek verb meaning “exhausted!”)

In Matthew 21:18 Jesus “hungered.” Luke 4:2 gives another instance of Jesus needing nourishment as well.

On the Cross, of all places, He was “thirsty!” John 19:28 … “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.”

Was He ever lonely? Again, on the Cross! “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46

And perhaps the best all-round verse (excerpt) on Jesus’ Humanity is the Claim that our Lord was “touched with the feeling of our infirmities.” Hebrews 4:15, astounding!

Yet exhibiting all those “human traits,” Jesus was GOD! (He even thought it not “robbery” to be equal with God! See Philippians 2:6 for proof.)

I just did not have time to develop these thoughts in Class today! But I did get a good bit said!

Watch …
