Jesus Christ, God's own son, became truly human. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven (Heb. 1:3).
Jesus: Fully God and Fully Man

Jesus was fully human:
1. Perfect. Sometimes it is hard not to expect perfection in someone we love, trust or look up but people are human and will let us down. Jesus is God. He told us what perfect humanity is, he lived it.
2. Understands and prays for us. He has experienced all that we might undergo. When we are hungry, weary, lonely, he fully understands, for he has gone through it all himself. (Heb 4:15)
Jesus was fully God:
3. God became man...meaning human nature has the capacity for goodness through God. Physical nature can't be inherently evil or inferior to the spiritual and immaterial because Jesus took upon himself our full human nature. This is a reminder that to be human is not evil, it was created good and spoiled by sin.
4. God is not far removed from the human race, distant and disinterested (exclusively transcendent). Jesus, is love in action, a real and complete incarnation. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the father." (John 1:14)
