Did Jesus Suffer Common Afflictions?

[dauntingknight]

In order for us to be saved. He had to be a fully developed human (while He is also fully divine). i.e. He became hungry,cold,tired etc.

Without having read peoples' responses, and without having researched the topic, I voted that Yes, Jesus suffered from common afflictions. Coming down to Earth and experiencing human emotions and human afflictions is a major part of what helps us comprehend how huge His sacrifice is.

We know how we feel when we're ill or have been wronged by someone, and we know that we don't always respond graciously in those situations. And then there was Christ, who in all His perfection, came down here and shared those emotions and afflictions with us, showed us a better way to be, and then went on to die for us.

It just doesn't make sense to me that he would be exempt from all of humanity's feelings.

I thought our being subject to physical death and or physical problems was the result of sin. I don't think Jesus would have suffered typical physical ailments.

Jesus suffered teh torture of crucifixion and death on the cross. Yeah??? People suffer in varying degrees quite unrelated to their personal sins. All men and women, [u]Mortals[/u] suffer and die as a result of original sin. Jesus who is God took on a [u]mortal[/u] body to demonstrate his love and compassion for us. He did this to show us the way to salvation. It would have been deceitful for him to think. "It's too hot today, I'll get some some angels to make a cool wind on me." The resurrected Jesus of course was different and was free of infirmities and death. He was even able to enter teh room though the door was locked. My personal belief is that it is Jesus immortal body that is present in the Eucharist which will bring us also to immortality.
