Fully divine, yet fully human

Hey Sell Outs, Kevin Rodgers here.

Ryan said something on Monday that I thought was awesome. He was talking about how we usually don't think about how Jesus, the son of God, though fully divine, was still fully human. He got tired, got hungry, got tempted by sin, and, of course, got hurt.

Jesus, at the last supper said "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God." (Luke 22:15-16) and "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."(Luke 22:17-18). If he were just fully divine, he would have said "Here, I bless you with this food, eat, drink, and be merry." Instead he's saying "I EAGERLY want to SHARE this meal WITH YOU." Well, doesn't he still eagerly desire to spend time with us? He may not be able to sit down and chill with us at Starbucks for a mocha, but he's always there, EAGERLY desiring for us to quiet down our lives and focus on the wisdom he gives and how we can use it to grow closer to him. So do it.
