In Matt. 21:18 we read that _Jesus Christ hungered_; in John 19:28 we read that _Jesus Christ thirsted_; in Luke 22:44 we read that Jesus Christ _suffered physical agony_, His agony was so great that He was on the point of dying with agony; and in 1 Cor. 15:3 we read that "_Christ died_," that His death is an essential part of the Gospel. Paul says in this passage, +"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures."+ It was no merely apparent death, it was a real death. It was no "illusion." Our salvation depends on the reality of His death. "Christian Science" cuts the very heart out of the Gospel. We are oftentimes asked was it the human nature of Jesus Christ that died or was it the divine nature that died. It was neither the one nor the other, natures do not die, a person dies. It was _Jesus_ who died, the Person who was at once God and man. We are told in so many words in 1 Cor. 2:8, that they +"Crucified the Lord of glory,"+ and we saw in the last chapter that the "Lord of Glory" is unquestionably a divine title. It was the one Person Jesus who was at once human and divine, who died upon the cross of Calvary. 2. _He was also, as a man subject to intellectual and moral limitations._ We read in Luke 2:52, +"Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man."+ As we are told here that He grew in wisdom, He must have been more perfect in wisdom after He grew than He was before He grew, and as He grew in favour with God and man, He must have attained to a higher type of moral perfection when He grew than He had attained to before He grew. While in the Babe of Bethlehem God was incarnate, nevertheless He was a real babe and grew not only in stature, but in wisdom and in favour with God and man. _As a man_ He was limited in knowledge, He Himself says in Mark 13:32, +"But of that day and that hour+ (i.e., the day and the hour of His own return) +knoweth no man; no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son but the Father."+ Of course, His knowledge was _self-limited_: to set an example for you and me to follow in His steps, He voluntarily _as man_ put away His knowledge of the time of His own return. Furthermore still, we are definitely and explicitly taught in Heb. 4:15 that Jesus Christ was +"In all points tempted like as we are."+ But in bearing this in mind as being clear and complete proof of the reality of His humanity, not only physical but mental and moral, we should also bear in mind what is stated in the same verse, that He was tempted "Apart from Sin," i.e., that there was not the slightest taint or tinge of sin in His temptation, not one moment's yielding to it in thought or desire or act. Nevertheless, He was tempted and overcame temptation in the same way that we may overcome it, by the Word of God and prayer. He Himself voluntarily placed Himself under the essential moral limitations that man is under in order to redeem man.
