As I study the New Testament, I learn more and more about the qualities of Christ; not only as the Son of God, but also as a man. Yes, Jesus had feelings just like any other man. One account comes to mind in particular (I was talking with my girlfriend about this). Upon hearing the news of the death of John the Baptist, Christ decides to go away for a little bit. He probably felt deep sadness for the loss of his cousin. He probably realized for the first time so vividly that this same fate was awaiting him; it was only a matter of time. Whatever may be the reasons, He departed thence by ship into a desert place apart. However, when people heard of this, they decided to follow him. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
When I read this story on of the first things that come to mind is that Jesus always had to be Jesus. He could never take a break. He could be tired, hungry, sad, etc, but he still had to be Jesus. I am grateful for his love and example, He never let down, He never gave up.
