Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, You ask an interesting question and I do not see it as "taking too great a liberty"! Though I don't find any direct references to Jesus experiencing fear, I think it reasonable to allow that He could have. There are 25 Proofs of the Humanity of Christ listed in Willmingtons' Book of Bible lists. They are: "1. He had a human parentage. Luke 1:31; Gal. 4:4 2. He had a human body. Matt. 26:12 3. He looked like a man. John 4:9 4. He possessed flesh and blood. Heb. 2:14 5. He grew. Luke 2:40 6. He asked questions. Luke 2:46 7. He increased in wisdom. Luke 2:52 8. He prayed. Mark 1:35; Luke 11:1 9. He was tempted. Matt. 4:1; Heb. 2:18; 4:15 10. He learned obedience. Heb. 5:8 11. He hungered. Matt. 4:2; 21:18 12. He thirsted. John 4:7; 19:28 13. He was weary. John 4:6 14. He slept. Matt. 8:24 15. He loved. Mark 10:21 16. He had compassion. Matt. 9:36 17. He was angered and grieved. Mark 3:5 18. He wept. John 11:35; Luke 19:41 19. He experienced joy. Heb. 12:2; Luke 10:21 20. He was troubled. Mark 14:33–34; John 11:33; 12:27; 13:21 21. He sweat drops as of blood. Luke 22:44 22. He suffered. 1 Pet. 4:1 23. He bled. John 19:34 24. He died. Matt. 27:50; 1 Cor. 15:3 25. He was buried. Matt. 27:59–60 Getting back to the Hebrews 2 reference, we do know that one of the qualifications as Mediator was He had to be a man, and that He should be able to sympathize in all the infirmities of his people, and that He should be united to them in a common nature. Further, Christ entered heaven as our forerunner according to Heb. 6:20! I don't know if this answers your question, but I trust it will help:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
