The Humanity of Christ

[BillyBob]

Perhaps it is time to look at the humanity of Christ as well as his deity! I am sure that this has been discussed before, since it is very important to see both sides.
Therefore, using the AI that I was born with, I have gathered below some thoughts on this subject. They are not my words, but will serve as food for further discussion!

Many Christians have sought to diminish the full force of the true humanity of Christ. But the truth of Christ’s humanity is as significant for the gospel of salvation as the truth of his deity.
The redeemer and deliverer of humanity has a common source with all humanity and has been made like us in every respect, except for sin (Heb 2:10-18).
These two natures are united in his person without confusion or change but also without division or separation.
To emphasize the deity of Christ in no way diminishes his humanity, and to highlight his humanity in no way detracts from his deity. The properties of each nature retain their own integrity even in their union in the singular person of the Son.
The human nature that Jesus assumed in his incarnation was free from any stain of sin or corruption, but it nevertheless possessed all the marks of ordinary humanity. And living in a fallen world, Jesus voluntarily assumed the infirmities common to our fallen humanity. He hungered (Matt 4:2), thirsted (John 4:7; 19:28), grew tired (John 4:6), and experienced the full range of ordinary, non-sinful human emotions (Matt 26:37; John 2:15; 11:35). Perhaps this even played an important role in His sweating great drops of blood!

I believe Jesus so struggled with aligning/submitting His human will to the will of the Father that He
sweat blood in the Garden of Gethsemane prior to His arrest and crucifixion, knowing what was coming...

Luke 22 verse 42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” John 12 verses 27-28 "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

John 18 verses 37b-38a “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.” “What is truth?” Pilate asked.

God looked upon mankind and There was no man worthy To intercede none worthy no man without sin

“The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭14:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He saw that man’s judgement had been corrupted and it displeased the lord that there was no judgement and man worthy to intercede and save the people from sin

“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:12, 15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

so he became the perfect man as of mighty God was reaching forth his arm into humanity to save us extending his hand of salvation

“For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:17-18, 20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Now we have an intercessor and advocate with the father a righteous man

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

now we have an intercessor

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:34‬ ‭

an intercessor who lives forever

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The one and only mediator between God and men

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There was no man to Intercede and save us so god became the man to save us

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The son of man indeed speaks of the importance of the humanity of Jesus God who became a man in order to save mankind

Having literally "sweat" (small) drops of blood when I had pancreatitis, I know that it is possible.

Hebrews chapter 4 verse 14 through to Hebrews chapter 5 verse 9 . We also have to remember that Jesus existed before we meet him in the gospels . He had a life and a family , parents , grandparents , cousins , aunties and uncles , brothers and sisters and maybe even nieces and nephews . We don't know when Joseph died but whenever it was it would have left Jesus as the head of his household and he may have even had to b the breadwinner and provide for them . He would have experienced all the ups and downs of family life , the arguements and personality clashes etc . Also all the good times , the weddings and births of family babies etc . The whole gamut of human experience and emotions would have been experienced by him as a young man . Hebrews chapter 5 verse 8 stands out so strong to me . How did he suffer before his crucifixion ? Because that's when that suffering was , before the crucifixion . Was that suffering even before his ministry ? While he was leading a relatively ordinary life with his family ? Whenever and whatever it was , it lead him to obedience . All the was to the cross . Matthew chapter 26 verses 36-46 .
