Jesus is the only person in history that was uniquely two things at one time. He was fully God and fully man. Said another way, he was fully holy and fully human. The humanity of Jesus is something we often preach on and relate to. We love that Jesus was tempted in every way just like we are. Jesus had emotions, hurts, suffering, and everything else that comes with being a human being. Yet, he remained perfect through it all. However, maybe we don’t discuss the holiness aspect of Jesus enough. Yes, he is relatable and is there to help us. But, he is also distinctly holy and set apart. He may look like us and talk like us, but there is something definitely different about Jesus Christ.
