Jesus is fully man.
The Word was made flesh
and dwelt among us.
And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father.
The humanity of Christ is the truth that Jesus is fully man as well as fully God. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. He was born of a woman, grew in wisdom and stature, hungered, thirsted, wept, suffered, and died. In all points He was tempted like as we are, yet without sin. His true humanity was necessary for Him to be our substitute and our high priest. The virgin birth and the incarnation are the means by which the Son of God became man.
