1 Peter 4:12-13

I know what the traditional thought is in regards to the suffering that Peter is referring to here, but I wonder if Christ longed for human love and marriage as we do. As he was completely human when he was here, I cannot imagine him not feeling those feelings. Did he watch his friends and siblings get married and have kids and feel rejected? How much of his life plan was he aware of as he was living it? Did he know that, as the Son of God, marriage wouldn't be a part of his life?
I wonder if these things are things that concerned him.

Dunno, but I bet the moments when he was focused on Christ's purposes he was worried about this less (assuming he was at all).

We know this, but we need ALOT of work to really live it.
