Psalm 78:40 (ESV)
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and grieved him in the desert!
Well, physical pain no, I don’t imagine He does. Jesus did and so that to me means God knows exactly what pain is.
As far as ‘getting his feelings hurt that’s not the language of the scripture as far as I can tell. But grieving God certainly is. And maybe I’m reading into the text, but when Jesus died and the earth turned dark and the curtain in the temple broke in two and the earth shook, I imagine God, who was without his son for the first time in who knows how long, really felt that.

Hi Octoberose,
I see your point about God's feelings at the time of Jesus death, but I would like to add a couple of thoughts.
Jesus on the stake who was about to take his last breath and give up the spirit said "it is finished".
In other words, Jesus had fully accomplished all that his Father had given him to do and he had only to await the coming resurrection to glory once again.
Which event took place for Jesus in the next second of his conscience awareness.
Jesus lost consciousness on the stake and in the next instant he awoke in the tomb being attended by angels.

Father God at the same time observed that the work given Jesus and the pain and suffering he had endured was ended and the salvation of ALL accomplished.
So at this point with the suffering over and Jesus' resurrection assured it was a time of great Joy for Father God.
