Jesus' death reveals His humanity through His real experiences of suffering and thirst, demonstrating He fully identified with our human condition.
Jesus' death profoundly reveals His humanity, as He fully experienced suffering, both physically and spiritually. When He cried out, 'I thirst,' in John 19:28, it was not merely symbolic; He truly felt the pains and limitations of human existence. This authentic experience of thirst, combined with His suffering on the cross, illustrates that Jesus was indeed fully human, sharing in our sorrows and temptations. Unlike any fictional representations, His agony was real, underscoring His role as our substitute who bore the consequences of sin. By experiencing the human condition, He demonstrates His profound empathy and commitment to redeem us from our brokenness.
