Jesus’ Humanity

Jesus was fully human. He was born to an unmarried couple who fled their hometown as refugees. Jesus was an eldest brother who went to school and had family drama. He studied carpentry, got hungry and tired, and told epic stories. He loved socialising and solitude, had best friends, called out religious people, and he experienced the pain of rejection… Jesus gets us on so many levels! 

Let’s watch this clip about an event recorded in John 8:1-11 of the Bible to get a glimpse into Jesus’ life.

  • What are your impressions of Jesus after watching this?
  • What did the people in this story think of Jesus?
  • Jesus was always a little unexpected in how he responded to people. How do you think Jesus might respond to issues of our current day? (e.g. the mental health crisis)

 

There were many things that were surprising about Jesus, even to the people of his day. Our next stories show us that there was more to Jesus than meets the eye.
