yes, the Lord had to undergo a tremendous amount of "human stuff" to accomplish His feat of providing salvation for us.
I cannot imagine what it's like to have one spike driven through both my ankle bones folded on top of each other.
"without His precious love, where would I be? I would be lost, I would be adrift like a ship on a stormy sea, forever longing to be free, if it had not been for the goodness of the Lord."

Matthew 2:4-6 He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law. "Where did the prophets say the Messiah would be born?" he asked them. "In Bethlehem," they said, "for this is what the prophet wrote: `O Bethlehem of Judah,you are not just a lowly village in Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.'
Luke 2:6,7 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the village inn.
Hebrews 2:14 Because God's children are human beings--made of flesh and blood--Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death.
Matthew 27:30
And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and beat him on the head with it.Mark 10:34
They will mock him, spit on him, beat him with their whips, and kill him, but after three days he will rise again."
Luke 4:2
where the Devil tempted him for forty days. He ate nothing all that time and was very hungry.
John 13:4-5
So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.
Isaiah 53: 2-10 My servant grew up in the LORD's presence like a tender green shoot, sprouting from a root in dry and sterile ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected--a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care.
Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows] that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins! But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed! 6All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the guilt and sins of us all.
He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. 8From prison and trial they led him away to his death. But who among the people realized that he was dying for their sins--that he was suffering their punishment? He had done no wrong, and he never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man's grave.
But it was the LORD's good plan to crush him and fill him with grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have a multitude of children, many heirs.
