Remember, Jesus was totally God and totally human. If He did not or could not feel what we feel, what was the value of His suffering? He experienced what you and I experience when we hurt. He knows what it is to feel ashamed. Sessions in Pain Pg. 84
It was never God’s plan for us to experience pain and shame; these things came with the fracture of creation when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. The beauty that came out 
of all of this is that Christ joined us as we lived in this fractured creation. He allowed Himself to experience pain and shame so that we would know that He sympathizes with our weaknesses and will show us the way from sin.
