Why is it important to understand that Jesus took on human flesh?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding Jesus' humanity is crucial to recognizing His role as a merciful high priest and the means of our salvation.

The fact that Jesus took on human flesh is fundamental to the Christian faith as it underscores His empathy and ability to relate to humanity. In Hebrews 2:17, it is emphasized that He was made like His brethren in all things so that He could be a faithful high priest. This humane connection allows Him to mediate effectively, understanding our temptations and struggles. By becoming a man, Jesus not only fulfilled the demands of divine justice but also was able to identify with us in our suffering, making Him the perfect Savior who can sympathize with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). His humanity is essential for our salvation and comfort as believers.
