We could say that this o.p. has things reversed. Jesus had to suffer what we do, as humans, with our fears, pains, temptations, suffering and the ever-overhanging fact that death is always beside us, ready to end our precious existence. This is at least partly why he always referred to himself as the son of man; his time on earth was necessitated, "fathered", by mankind and our need for compassion.
