3. HE HAD THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN. John 4:9--"How is it that thou, being a Jew." Luke 24:13--The two disciples on the way to Emmaus took Him to be an ordinary man. John 20:15--"She, supposing him to be the gardener." 21:4, 5--"Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus." The woman of Samaria evidently recognized Jesus as a Jaw by His features or speech. To her He was just an ordinary Jew, at least to begin with. There is no Biblical warrant for surrounding the head of Christ with a halo, as the artists do. His pure life no doubt gave Him a distinguished look, just as good character similarly distinguishes men today. Of course we know nothing definite as to the appearance of Jesus, for no picture or photograph of Him do we possess. The apostles draw attention only to the tone of His voice (Mark 7:34; 15:34). After the resurrection and ascension Jesus seems still to have retained the form of a man (Acts 7:56; 1 Tim. 2:5). 4. HE WAS POSSESSED OF A HUMAN PHYSICAL NATURE: BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT. John 1:14--"And the Word was made flesh." Heb. 2:14--"For asmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same." Matt. 26:12--"She hath poured this ointment on my body." v. 38--"My soul is exceeding sorrowful." Luke 23:46--"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." 24:39--"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." By his incarnation Christ came into possession of a real human nature; He came not only unto His own, but came unto them in the likeness of their own flesh. Of course we must distinguish between a human nature and a carnal nature. A carnal nature is really not an integral part of man as God made him in the beginning. Christ's human nature was truly human, yet sinless: "Yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15). 5. HE WAS SUBJECT TO THE SINLESS INFIRMITIES OF HUMAN NATURE. Matt. 4:2--"He was afterward an hungred." John 19:28--"Jesus....saith, I thirst." 4:6--"Jesus....being wearied with his journey." Matt. 8:24--"But he was asleep." John 19:30--"He bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." He mourns over Jerusalem (Matt. 23:37); weeps over His dead friend Lazarus, (John 11:35); craves for human sympathy in the garden (Matt. 26:36,40); tempted in all points like as we are (Heb. 4:15). There is not a note in the great organ of our humanity which, when touched, does not find a sympathetic vibration in the mighty range and scope of our Lord's being, saving, of course, the jarring discord of sin. But sin is not a necessary and integral part of unfallen human nature. We speak of natural depravity, but, in reality, depravity is _un_natural. God made Adam upright and perfect; sin is an accident; it is not necessary to a true human being. 6. HUMAN NAMES ARE GIVEN TO HIM BY HIMSELF AND OTHERS.
