Heb 10:4-5
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Even though this Body was of Flesh and Blood like other men, sin excepted, and though it was subject to sinless infirmities such as growing weary, receiving bruising, yet it was a specially prepared Body, to bear the agony and sins of all those He represented, so it is written 1 Pet 2:24
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
This specially prepared or fitted body was not from Mary nor Joseph, but this was a Body that was to bear iniquity, the iniquity of the world of God's Elect, a Number that no man can number. This was not an ordinary Body but one fitted, framed, equipped especially for Christ and His task in doing the will of the Lord God Heb 10:4-7
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
It was body of above natural strength, for Christ's Body Strength would have greatly exceeded that of 100 Sampson's put together, for the scripture says of Him Ps 89:19
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
This describes Him in His Character as the Man Jesus Christ as Mediator and sin bearer, for He did not bear sin upon His Deity ! That this weight of sin had physical consequences unto Him can be seen by His reaction here in the garden Lk 22:41-44
I believe the agony and mental anguish Christ experienced here would have given the normal flesh and blood a mental collapse ! And this was a mere foretaste of the suffering yet to come when the Father would forsake Him with the Sins of the Elect World being punished in Him ! And yet, He was able to utter, it is finished !
