January 20- Why Jesus came in the flesh? by Richard

January 20-Why did Jesus come into this flesh realm? by Richard. When God revealed himself to me, I struggled in my mind for years as to how Jesus’s suffering and death could be different than other “sacrifices”. I knew that the human mind thru all time periods and all earthly locations, always came up with all sorts of sacrifices to appease an angry God. Let us take a different view. Matt 26:40 And He (Jesus) came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour”? He felt the human emotion of being abandoned by His friends. Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Jesus felt the fear,pain,worry and all the negative emotions we feel in our mortal bodies. Matt 26:39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” Jesus knowing who and what He was, feared human death. All of this is simply part of the process of making man in the image of God, if simply is the proper word to use instead of the word sacrifice take away all human thinking and beliefs.
