Jesus had a prehuman existence. In his letter to the Christians in Colossae, the apostle Paul described Jesus as “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”—Colossians 1:15. From the start, God’s Son received a unique assignment, that of being “master worker” alongside his Father. What joy this brought to Jehovah! “I came to be the one he [Jehovah] was specially fond of day by day,” notes Proverbs 8:30, adding, “I being glad before him all the time.”
Jesus was with God in heaven when the first rebellion occurred in Eden; Jesus saw all that mankind did while he was in heaven. Once he came to earth, first as a baby, then a child, finally as a man, he was endowed with the full range of human emotions. Although he was a perfect man, he got tired, hungry, upset, sad, happy, he suffered pain etc. So, Jesus can perfectly identify and sympathize with what humans are going through now, which was why he was the perfect High Priest who could make a petition for us and come to our help, having been tested in all respects. (Hebrews 4:15)
