Show Notes

How cool is it that Jesus is human and God at the same time? You might be wondering how that is possible. The Bible is full of examples of Jesus showing both His humanity and deity: He has the same emotions we have. He wept and cried when His friend Lazarus died, just as we weep and cry when we lose people we love (John 11:33-36). Jesus healed the sick and forgave sins, which are things only God can do (Mark 2:1-12). Throughout His life and ministry, Jesus and those who truly knew Him were clear: He is God (Matthew 1:18-25; John 8:12-58; 10:30-33; 20:26-28). Jesus experienced extreme stress, just like we do. In fact, on the night of His crucifixion, He suffered from a condition known as hematohidrosis, which means He was sweating blood (Luke 22:44). On the cross, Jesus even asked a question we’ve all asked at some point: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? (Matthew 27:46). If Jesus knew the same feeling of helplessness we feel sometimes, it shows He is truly human. He triumphed over sin and death because He is the true God (Luke 23:44-49; John 3:16; 11:25-26). The next time you’re going through a hard situation, remember Jesus went through hard times too; He is very acquainted with human suffering (Hebrews 4:14-16). Just as He reigns victorious over sin, death, and Satan, you too can be victorious through faith in Him. Alexis Wohler Does it encourage you to know Jesus went through the same emotions you? For you, what is the most convincing evidence that Jesus is human? That He is God? What questions do you have about Jesus’ humanity? His deity? Who are trusted Christians in your life you can bring those questions tosuch as pastors, camp counselors, or parents? In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 (CSB)
