The bible is very explicit: Jesus is a man. Some say he was a god. That is pagan nonsense.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
(1 Peter 2:21-24) In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving a model for you to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One who judges righteously. 24 He himself bore our sins in his own body on the stake, so that we might die to sins and live to righteousness. And “by his wounds you were healed.”
As a human on earth, Jesus experienced what humans go through (except for sickness since he was perfect). He got tired, hungry, felt pain, etc. That's why he was the perfect model to prove that humans could endure under trial and keep their integrity to God.
In addition to him being born as God's son, the Bible helps us to understand why he was born, suffered and died as a perfect human for imperfect mankind.
(Colossians 1:15-18) "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him".
We in affect are gifts from God to his son. Jesus was willing to do whatever was asked of him and needed to retain that precious gift.
(John 1:10) "He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him".
(Hebrews 1:2) " Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things".
How wonderful it is to know there is someone who cares that much about us that he was willing to give his own life so we could live.
