Once again I stand, rather, sit amazed at a new thought. Jesus was as humanly touched as all of those he healed.
Was Jesus as effected as those healed? Did he always know that healing was ahead? I was always taught that as an omnipotent being, he did. Even when He whirled around asking, "Who touched me?"
(This is another topic which has filled commentaries and thesis's I have not read, you can if you want.)
His power to heal was divine, not human. So his experience and that of the woman was not the same. Nor could it be. Well that makes sense. Until they looked at each other and knew the result, not of the healing but the result....I think they both had the same emotions. Happiness that the yuckiness was over and joy that salvation was in place.
Now that I need to clearly explain that to myself, I find myself going...uh?
Sure, mercy and immense love where there, even empathy played a role; without that, why bother. But I think I am talking about wonder, amazement, happiness--real joy, and faith both in human beings and in His father.
(off topic, sortta) Did Jesus, even though God is His Father, ever get a faith shot? Needed or not?
Did my Jesus, as a human on this earth, experience every single emotion along with us plus divine and whatever emotions go with that?
What do you think?
I'm stumped, I gotta ask Him.
