God became human to know what it’s like to be you. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, Jesus was (and is, although he’s ascended) a real, normal human being, just like us. Not only does he identify with us in our human-ness, he is not ashamed of us, and is proud to call us his little sisters and little brothers. Even more, he is able to help us no matter what we’re up against; because wherever we are right now, Jesus has been there. God knows what it’s like to be you.
