JESUS AS MAN
JESUS WAS TEMPTED, FASTED AND BECAME HUNGRY
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Matthew 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
JESUS ATE MEAT
Mark 2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
JESUS WORKED PHYSICALLY
Mark 2:23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
JESUS HAD HALF-SIBLINGS
Matthew 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren (BROTHERS)* stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Luke 8:19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Luke 8:20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
Mark 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Matthew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Matthew 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
Galatians 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
I encourage you to search and read the first four books of the New Testament and time and time again you will find scripture verses that show Jesus as 100% man. Our next devotion will show verses as Jesus 100% God.

Interesting
James became the most well know of His brothers. Only because of the book he wrote.
Can't you just imagine what happened as they grew up. The picking and things that happen between brothers. Then, to see the book of James, where he teaches many of the WONDERFUL things he learned about Jesus and God. The book of James is......wow!!!
It is a short book towards the end of the New Testament.
It is right before the book of Peter
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psalm 139:14King James Version (KJV)
omit " I am" in the above verse and put in "Chris is "
James 1
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
What a way to start!!!!
James 3:7-8
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. (King James Bible)
Yet it can also be the source of great and beautiful things spoken of in mercy, compassion, and love.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
