I have to admit to falling too often into the realm of deifying Jesus' humanity subconsciously imagining Jesus as somehow living in a supra-human body. But this is heresy to believe in that kind of Jesus Jesus cried, got angry, bled, scrapped his knee, got infections, shed skin cells, and got dirty. I would recommend another book to supplement this topic. Jesus with Dirty Feet published by InterVarsity Press.

Jesus cried, got angry, bled, scrapped his knee, got infections, shed skin cells, and got dirty.

I would recommend another book to supplement this topic.

From the very beginning of the Christian era, those who sought to redefine the gospel argued that it doesn’t seem right to think of Jesus as really flesh and bone, filled with blood and intestines and urine. It doesn’t seem right to think of Jesus as growing in wisdom and knowledge, as Luke tells us he did.

As followers, we need to believe in His humanity so that we can realize truly following His example is possible for us. God created humans to be in His image. When Jesus walked the earth, He showed us what humanity should have been all along without sin.

But I can really appreciate your story about the stomach bug and how it brought home the idea that Jesus shared our humanity in <i>all</i> aspects. Thanks for these wonderful insights. Tim P.S. Are Jesus' hands spike-scabbed or spike-scarred?

For so long my view was inept; I didn't recognize that Jesus IS TODAY the same King who will one day rend the sky and return mightily for His people. That is a correct and majestic view, but does have the tendency to remove His humanity from Him. Balance is key. This is so great Dr. Moore. Thanks for this reminder.
