Jesus Was Human Too: Seeing the Son of God in Life's Everyday Moments

“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are.” (Hebrews 4:15 NRSV)

When we think of Jesus, we usually think of His miracles, His masterful teaching, and His world-changing death and resurrection. But what about the unremarkable moments of Jesus’s life? What about Jesus coming home after a long day at work, navigating a family argument, or going to a friend’s wedding?

With pastoral warmth and fascinating historical details, Ryan Lokkesmoe invites you into the different areas of Jesus’s ordinary, everyday humanity:

His childhood and home life

His work life and finances

His physical and emotional well-being

His cultural and political contexts

His weekly and yearly religious rhythms

As you enlarge your view of Jesus, you’ll see how He walked with wisdom and grace through experiences remarkably similar to your own. He knows what it’s like to be one of us. You can bring your difficulties to Him, confident that He genuinely understands and empathizes.

When your faith feels disconnected from your day-to-day life, this insightful exploration of Jesus’s humanity will bring you hope and comfort. With thoughtful questions for group study, this book is perfect to share with others in your life who want to deepen their relationship with Jesus.
