God made man in His image, and Jesus is the perfect man—thus the perfect image of God. But Jesus is not just the image of God. He is “the image of the invisible God.” Or as Hebrews 1:3 says, Jesus is “the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.”

The New Testament is clear enough that Jesus has a human body. John 1:14 means at least this, and more: “The Word became flesh.” His humanity became one of the first tests of orthodoxy (1 John 4:2; 2 John 7). He was born (Luke 2:7). He grew (Luke 2:40, 52). He grew tired (John 4:6) and got thirsty (John 19:28)

Jesus Is Fully Human
Many Christians are afraid to embrace the truth that Jesus is thoroughly, shockingly human. Are you among them?
