Why is understanding Christ's humanity important for Christians?

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus, while being fully divine, took on human flesh to experience life as we do, which allows Him to be our empathetic high priest. Hebrews 2:9-10 tells us that He became a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, making Him perfect for our salvation. His humanity is essential for understanding how He can relate to our weaknesses and intercede for us. He was tempted in all points like we are yet without sin, ensuring that His sacrifice was not only perfect but also that He understands our plight as humans.
