We know Jesus often went to be alone, to express to God the inexpressible—alone, in the dark, praying his high priestly prayer, one of which is recorded in John’s Gospel, and other times, sweating as he does in Gethsemane. The whole range of human feelings, even post-traumatic human feelings, lived in him. These feelings are still with him. Just as the visible scars from the nails are still on his hands, feet, and side, so his invisible wounds are there too. This is what it means to be human.
