But if you ask me to unpack what it really means that God becomes a human being in Jesus Christ, well, it's not so easy to explain. I've heard people talk as if Jesus was not really human. But I don't believe that. If God became a human baby, then God cried, because that's what it means to be human. Life is hard, being born is hard.
Birth is a frightening and painful process, and our first communication to the world is a cry.
If God was really human, then God cried. As if he came out of the womb with the sermon on the mount in his mind, and a sure knowledge of the cross, and the names of all his disciples already in his tiny brain. If that were true, then Jesus was really God in disguise, not God in human flesh. It also says he was tempted in all ways like we are. Just like us, Jesus didn't know what tomorrow would bring.
