People often have so many questions about Jesus. After all, he is a very interesting individual, and perhaps one of the most interesting individuals in the history of the world. There is no doubt that if I could jump in a time machine and go back to any date, it would probably be at the time Jesus was entering his life’s work.
But people often have questions about the nature of Jesus. What was he like? How did he act? I recently came across a question asking if Jesus ever became sick. So let’s take a look at this question.
Did Jesus Ever Get Sick (ill)? Did He Ever Use the Bathroom? Did He Burp or Even Have Gas?
In most cases, yes, Jesus could have become sick. He was human, and just looking at the Bible we can quickly see that he did all of the following: He ate, he drank, he felt hunger, he cried, he died, he prayed, he feared, he bled, he performed miracles, suffered temptation, and more.
In the mix of all of that, he most certainly could have became sick, if it was God’s will for him to get sick. Jesus experienced almost everything that any ordinary human experiences within their lifetime. He would have had moments of happiness, and moments of anger. He would have had moments of sadness, and moments of triumph.
Because of all of these human emotions and experiences, he would also have had to use the bathroom regularly. And yes, perhaps even burp, have an upset stomach, gas, and anything else. Moses, Elijah, Adam, Eve, Noah, Mohammad, and many other leaders and prophets would have been the exact same way.
Just because Jesus was human, does not discount his purpose or fullfillment on this Earth. In fact, it makes his sacrifice even more powerful. For if Jesus could not have “really” been tempted in the first place, what great reward is it that he died? What great reward is it that he lived a sinless life if he was never really tempted anyways? But when you consider that he was tempted in every way we are (just as the Bible states), then that really shows how powerful his sinlessness and sacrifice really was. It shows the true nature and character of Jesus. He felt the same things we felt, but did what was right! He knew he did no wrong, but said, “I will take the blame of all who sinned.”
