Jesus, being God, chose to live as a human and to suffer firsthand the tragedy of living in a world broken by sin. It can be easy to forget the humanity of Jesus, that He really did experience life the same as all of us do. Pastor Dion reminds us today that Jesus faced the same hardships, challenges, and emotions that we face. Yes, He is fully God. But that doesn’t mean His life on earth was any easier. He chose to live like any other human, and as a result, we have confidence that He can relate to us.
