The personality is simply how we view the world and naturally react to it. Each one of us is given a different personality with different mixtures of lesser personalities that are natural to other people. The natural personality that defines another person is to a lesser degree part of who we are.

We see that Jesus was able to fully identify with every person on a perfect personal level. Jesus could read the heart and experience the other persons experience. Jesus was the perfect man who acted as a real mediator for those He died for. He also identified with those who are wicked and acts against their wickedness in a way that He would feel if their experience was His.

I believe the ultimate purpose of Jesus in identifying with all men in a way that we cannot understand was to create a world where every man fit together in a relationship like a puzzle. In being completely holy Jesus had to know and understand our struggles perfectly. Jesus was focused on us so that we could focus on ourselves and accept ourselves. He creates our identity from His perfect perspective.

I believe Jesus when He was on this earth displayed the perfect reaction and spoke the perfect words according to His knowledge of our identity. In Col. it says that He holds all things together . So from before the foundation of the world Jesus created us with an identity in which He could perform His perfect creation and recreation.

So Jesus had to identify with us by getting into our skin. But at the same time He had to be above the limits of human personality. He had to identify in such a way that He had to take on the perfect personality which is going outside of Himself and identifying fully with each person. The  natural  personality of each man.

We find this inner experience of Jesus,....His emotional life... His reactions to events...His ability to rise above all the identities of man who are put in a box ...and He had to know perfectly how to mold the world by recreating the events and people to reflect His perfect vision of how everyone is to fit together.

This is what He has done in the Psalms. He has provided the experience of the perfect man who is not limited to one personality. In speaking the Psalms we enter into a spiritual world...a conflict between limited human emotions and divine power that creates freedom beyond the box. We experience the feelings of Jesus that are mysterious.
