Donald Macleod, On the Humanity of Jesus Christ

“Above all, he shared with us the misery of our human condition: human existence as determined by the fall. He knew poverty, homelessness, loneliness, rejection, death in its cruelest form, and, at last, the loss of all sense of the presence of God. He lived amid squalor, violence and injustice. He heard the cursing, the blasphemy and the threats. He was tormented by the needs of the widow, the orphan, and the leper. He felt for the tax collector. He feared for his people. He wept for the world.” (Christ Crucified: Understanding the Atonement)
