What does the Bible say about the humanity of Jesus?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus was made lower than the angels, experiencing humanity fully through suffering and humility.

According to Hebrews 2:9, Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, which highlights His genuine humanity. He experienced hunger, thirst, and various infirmities, enduring great indignities, all while remaining sinless. This profound act of God assuming human nature invests humanity with a unique dignity and honor not previously or subsequently known to any creation. Despite this initial lowly state, Jesus was destined for both glory and honor, validated through His resurrection and exaltation to the right hand of God.
