Behold The Man
He carried a two-fold nature
Not two natures as some may suggest,
Luke presented him as “Jesus the Man”
And as a man, he passed the test.
In Luke
there is another genealogy
That goes all the way back to Adam
Luke chapter 3 verses 23 to 38
Definitely shows that he was a man.
He identified with each one of us
He showed complete dependence on God,
Even in the wilderness when tempted
By the sinister devil, that fraud.
In Luke his
humanity is prominent
Even from the recording of his birth,
His compassion and sympathy were evident
As he reached out to all the earth.
Once as he stood overlooking Jerusalem
He looked down on the city and wept,
How he longed to gather them to himself
But for him, they had no respect.
His humanity was shown in Gethsemane
In that agonizing session
As he prayed in earnest to his Father,
O how he revealed his human passion!
There his sweat was like drops of blood
As he prayed the more earnestly,
Demonstrating again his humanity
As he previewed his pending agony.
