How do we know Jesus was fully man according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms Jesus’ full humanity as He grew, developed, and experienced life just like any other human being.

Scripture provides clear evidence of the humanity of Jesus, particularly in Luke 2:40, which states that 'the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.' This passage emphasizes that Jesus experienced all aspects of human growth and development. He was not merely God in human form but also partook of the fullness of humanity, excluding sin. His growth from infancy to maturity highlights His genuine human experience, thus reinforcing His relatability to us.

Understanding Jesus as fully man is crucial because it affirms that He can sympathize with our weaknesses and temptations. His experience as a child and a young man positions Him uniquely to understand the trials, struggles, and emotions that accompany human life. This nature of Christ strengthens believers’ confidence in approaching Him as a compassionate advocate before the Father, knowing He understands our plight and is invested in our lives.
