NKJV 365 / Jesus the Man

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 30 of 365 As a man, Jesus became tired, just as we do. When He needed to get from point A to point B, He walked, just like everybody else. Jesus felt physical hunger. We know that after He fasted for forty days and nights, He got hungry. He got thirsty. When He hung on the cross, He said, "I thirst" (John 19:28). I think we can safely say that Jesus was a man's man, but even so, He could grow weary and weak. He died like a man when His battered body ceased to function. And although He never flew off the handle or lost His temper, Jesus sometimes got angry-a genuine righteous indignation. When Jesus came to the tomb of one of His closest friends who had just died, He also felt deep, deep sorrow. The Scripture says simply, "Jesus wept" (John 11:35). Taken from Start! The Bible for New Believers Matthew 4:2 NASB 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.
