Knowing

We spend so much time focusing on his divinity that it's really hard to imagine the temptations Jesus must have felt as his time on Earth was drawing to a close.  His humanity was as complete as ours. 

He knew hunger. 

He knew jealousy. 

He knew anger. 

He knew fear. 

He knew them all, but always resisted them, knowing that they would become distractions on his journey.  He continued on the right path.  He turned his face away from his old life and toward Calvary.  He listened to his Father, then took the path necessary for the redemption of his lost lambs.

What wondrous love.
