Tough is not the word, it was his ~state of mind~ his KNOWING what actually was the case, that he was NOT what is considered flesh, rather IS of "SPIRIT", and that image and likeness needeth not a thing, nor could be harmed, it was a wrestled ~claiming other than this~ that he overcame, as even in the movie after you think it's all over he get's right back up to take some more!
Great movie.
Again, there is no way a mere human could go through that.
Mel raises some questions, (for me at least).
According to Mel ,JC might've been a man of the peoples, BUT he was no ordinary man, and in this context I cant really get into his spirit.
He is superhuman to have gone through that and that deviates from my understanding of the dharma, which states that you are fine the way you are, that you need not compare yourself to exemplary humans such as JC , as this would only lead to disapointment..

Are you kidding?

We all have awareness. Some want more...like a pc or a home 🙂

Not to mention, He was 100% human AND 100% divine (a feat we humans can't fathom, much less attain).

Good man? sounds reasonable
Flawlessly good man? doubtful
walked on water? certainly not!
