“As a man, Jesus was subject to the needs, limitations, and frailties of a human being in this world. He had a body with nerve endings like ours, emotions that tore him as do ours. That is what it means for him to have been fully human.” Hebrews 2:14,17-18 Because God’s children are human beings —made of flesh and blood— the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.
