For thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feet grew tired. His head ached. To think of Jesus in such terms, says Max Lucado, almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable. Max's goal in this study is for us to simply get to know Jesus; then we will understand more clearly the people we were created to be.
