He was not cushioned in comfort like a prince .
Neither was he sequestered in solitude like a hermit.
Being very God , he was completely human.
Defies human comprehension.
But it draws me closer to Him.
Here is Lucado 's article
Completely Human
When a bookstore owner told me a woman had stomped into his shop, angry, slamming one of my books on the counter, I knew exactly what he was talking about. I wrote that Jesus may have had pimples. He may have had bony knees. But I said, “One thing’s for sure, he was, while completely divine, completely human.”
There’s something safe about a God who never had calluses. There’s something majestic about a God who never scraped his elbow. But there’s also something cold about a God who cannot relate to what you and I feel.
Rejection? He felt it. Temptation? He knew it. Loneliness? He experienced it. Death? He tasted it. And stress? He could write a best-selling book about it.
Why did he do it? One reason. So that when you hurt, you’ll go to him and let him heal you!
“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Hebrews 4:15.”

In the newspaper of my7 church there was great article about the birth of Jesus. Author very simple noticed: how great God became an infant, who needs diapers, being feed, who can't speak and even walk. He wrote, that it is real miracle, so amazing.
