Jesus Felt Hunger
The Tension
And when he (Jesus) had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Analysis
Experiencing hunger after fasting is a hallmark of created beings, not the Creator. Such human frailty affirms Jesus’ humanity and challenges the notion of his divinity.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They point to the Incarnation doctrine, stating Jesus willingly experienced human limitations.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Feeling hunger is a natural human weakness, not befitting an all-powerful, self-sufficient deity.
