The Son of God existed from eternity and manifested Himself in many ways in the Old Testament. In Exodus 3 His voice came from the Burning Bush, using the Name - I AM.
As predicted in Isaiah 7:14, He was the great Incarnation, God in man, Immanuel, God with us. His suffering as a man is clearly described in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, with Psalm 23 predicting the Good Shepherd.
The Incarnation - God in the flesh - took place according to the calendar established by God. Mary was with child, and the angels rejoiced, proclaiming this miracle to the shepherds. There are many false gods, but only Jesus Christ can be called God and man, the Two Natures united in one person and forever One.
The rationalist era, which grew from Calvinism and Pietism, created The Life of Jesus books, which catered to believers but emphasized their lack of faith in Him. Reaction to this has led to emphasizing His divine nature without much about His human nature.
Below are some examples of His humanity (remembering that His divine nature is never subordinate to His human nature).
1. Jesus was conceived and born, having all the qualities of a baby boy, nursed by His mother Mary, and growing up in a household that included Joseph as his father.
2. He was baptized by John in the Jordan River, even though John did not feel equal to this person.
3. He went to the desert wilderness where Satan confronted Him. He had water but no bread to eat. He listened to the twisted logic of Satan but did not fall prey to the Evil One.
4. He gathered disciples and trained them. We often see this in light of His divinity, but they did not know the full extent of His divinity until after the Resurrection.
5. He grew weary and prayed.
KJV Matthew 26:36f. Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
KJV Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
Luke has many more examples on this link.
KJV John 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
A man said, "I don't go to church."
An older lady said, "So you are better than Jesus?
He said, "No, why do you say that."
She answered, "Jesus was always praying in the synagogue, so you are better than Jesus."
