The Humanity of Christ

Jesus has a human body of flesh and bones. Contrary to the beliefs of some other cults, Jesus was born of a woman in a human body, died in a human body and - most importantly - was resurrected in a human body. There are numerous passages in the Bible which confirm this statement.

During his life and ministry, Jesus:

• Was born of a woman (Luke 2:7)
• Grew up to become strong and wise (Luke 2:40, 52)
• Marvelled at people's faith (Matthew 8:10)
• Wept for his friends (John 11:35)
• Became tired (John 4:6)
• Became thirsty (John 19:28)
• Became hungry (Matthew 4:2)
• Became weak (Luke 23:26)
• Became troubled (John 12:27, 13:21)
• Became sorrowful (Matthew 26:38)
• Died on the cross (Luke 23:46)

After his death, Jesus displayed his physically resurrected body by:

• Showing his disciples the wounds in his hands and feet and even inviting them to touch him (Luke 24:39; John 20:20, 27, 21:13)
• Consumming food (Luke 24:41-43)
• Telling a woman to stop clinging to his body (John 20:17)

After he did all these things, he ascended into Heaven (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9) to return to the right hand of God the Father (Mark 16:19; Acts 2:33).
