searching for Jesus page 2 by ric gustafson
Jesus Christ was fully human and fully divine. What does that mean?. Jesus was flesh and blood. He was real life. He was an honest to God man. Like every man, Jesus was born, he lived and then he died. The child called Yeshua entered the world as a newborn. He was dependent on his parents.
Jesus had a body like you and me. He ate, drank and slept. When he became an adult, Jesus felt joy, sadness and laughter. Jesus felt frustration and enthusiasom. Just like us, Jesus was weary at the end of the day. Sometimes Jesus got sick. Sometimes he sweated and sneezed.
So where do we start searching for Jesus?. I believe we should start at the beginning. To a backwater town only an hour or so from Capernaum. In Jesus's time, it was a hamlet with only 200 to 400 residents.
Now this town is populated by Muslims and Christians. The town is now dominated by the Basilica of the Annunciation.
The town's name is Nazareth.
