JESUS CAME AS A HUMAN.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
the stars in the heavens looked down where He lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
The ravages of sin, neglect, abuse, and a thousand addictions have left us all a shadow of what we were meant to be.
Jesus is humanity in its truest form.
His favorite title for himself was the Son of Man.
Not of God—of man.
The more we can grasp his humanity, the more we will find him someone we can approach, know, love, trust, and adore.
PHYSICAL.
HUMAN.
JESUS GOT HUNGRY!
NOT JUST A ONE TIME THING!
NOT JUST HUNGRY BUT TIRED!
HUMAN.
REALLY, TRULY AND FULLY HUMAN.
NOT JUST PHYSICAL BUT EMOTIONAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL. YOU’VE GOTTA LOVE THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!
EXPLAIN LEPROSY.
LOOK AT THE LAW.
IMAGINE THE LIFE OF A LEPER? WHAT DOES JESUS DO? MORE, HOW DOES JESUS FEEL?
WHY TOUCH HIM?
Because this is the one thing the man needs.
No one has touched him for a very long time.
To be starved for human touch is far worse than to starve for bread.
HUMAN.
THAT MEANS HE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL OF HUMANITY - DEATH.
The root of the Greek word here means “to snort in anger,” like a warhorse.
Peterson therefore translates it, “a deep anger welled up within him” (John 11:33 The Message).
Yes, that’s better; of course it did.
This is the Prince of Life, who came that we might have life—what do you suppose his personal attitude is toward death?
And here, the death of a close friend?
John uses the word loud to describe it; he uses this very same word to describe the ferocity of a storm that nearly sank their boat.
Apparently, Jesus’ command here reminded John of the intensity of a storm.
Jesus doesn’t ask Lazarus to come out; he doesn’t suggest he do.
He commands him to life with the rumble of thunder and the crack of lightning.
Obediently, Lazarus comes hopping out like a mummy:
HUMAN.
REALLY, TRULY, FULLY HUMAN!
WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE.
