It seems like we need to reflect on the humanity of Jesus more than we usually do. The aspect of a mediator who was like us in every way is not easily digestible because we do not just accept what the Bible says, plain as it is. Somehow, in the back of our mind, we have a feeling that Christ operate in some other realm. We know he was hungry and could get tired just like us on a physical level but we feel that in His mind, He operated on a different plane. Now we do not have to delve into the complexities of the mind of Jesus, but there is one thing we have to just believe and accept and that is this - Jesus became a man just like us; with all its frailties and limitations. Unless we accept this completely, we would never see Him as a perfect example. And if we do not see Him as a perfect example, we will never really aim to become like Jesus here on earth. We voice out this desire in our prayers all the time, but it is mostly hypocritical. We never sincerely work towards that prayer becoming a reality. Can you see how important it is to believe what the Bible says and get our minds cleared up about the glorious truths of God. Nothing is more important than sound theology. Right understanding alone leads to right living.
