Understanding Christ's humanity is crucial because it shows His empathy with our struggles and validates His role as our High Priest.
Christ's humanity is essential for grasping the full scope of His redemptive work. As outlined in Hebrews 4:15, He empathizes with our weaknesses, having faced temptation in every way yet without sin. This empathy is integral to His role as our High Priest, who intercedes on our behalf. By sharing in our human experience—suffering, sorrow, and even temptation—Christ makes salvation accessible and relatable. His humanity is not just a historical fact but a crucial aspect of His ability to redeem us, as He can fully understand and sympathize with our struggles while offering perfect righteousness in our stead.
