Why did Jesus have to struggle in His early life?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus faced struggles to fully identify with our human experiences and to fulfill God's plan of redemption.

The struggles faced by Jesus' family during His early life are significant, showcasing the reality of human suffering and the fulfillment of prophecy. As Matthew recounts, Jesus' family had to flee to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath, illustrating the hardship and danger that accompanied His arrival in the world. These experiences allow Jesus to empathize with our struggles and serve as our sympathetic high priest. Moreover, they affirm God's sovereign plan that encompasses our suffering and challenges for a greater purpose: the redemption of humanity through Christ.
