LESSON 8: Jesus Knows all About Us

The Son of Man experienced those wide ranges of human emotion which reach from superb joy
to profound sorrow. He was a child of joy and a being of rare good humor; likewise was he a
‘man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.' In a spiritual sense, he did live through the mortal
life from the bottom to the top, from the beginning to the end. From a material point of view, he
might appear to have escaped living through both social extremes of human existence, but
intellectually he became wholly familiar with the entire and complete experience of humankind.

Jesus knows about the thoughts and feelings, the urges and impulses, of the evolutionary and
ascendant mortals of the realms, from birth to death. He has lived the human life from the
beginnings of physical, intellectual, and spiritual selfhood up through infancy, childhood, youth,
and adulthood— even to the human experience of death. He not only passed through these usual
and familiar human periods of intellectual and spiritual advancement, but he also fully
experienced those higher and more advanced phases of human and Adjuster reconciliation which
so few Urantia mortals ever attain. And thus he experienced the full life of mortal man, not only
as it is lived on your world, but also as it is lived on all other evolutionary worlds of time and
space, even on the highest and most advanced of all the worlds settled in light and life. 129:4.4
