What does Jesus tell about himself?

Recall the 4 reasons for the Incarnation… 1. Jesus saved humanity by reconciling humanity with God. Jesus paid the debt caused by Original sin! Memorize!!! 2. Jesus revealed God’s love for humanity. God loves humanity so much that He became one of us! 3. Jesus became our model of holiness. Jesus was the perfect man! Memorize!!! 4. Jesus made it possible for us to share in the very divine life of the Trinity. Humanity is better off now than before the fall!!!

Jesus is one divine person with two natures; one human, one divine. It took the Church hundreds of years and several heresies to find the precise language to describe the incarnation of Jesus. What they finally decided was this: Jesus is one divine person with two natures; one human, one divine. Memorize!!! This makes it possible to say that Jesus is both 100% God and 100% man… …remember, if he was 50% God and 50% man, than only 50% of man has been redeemed!

To further clarify…. 1. Jesus is not just a human being with special grace or abilities. 2. Jesus is not just a divine person who took on a human form so as not to frighten people. At the moment of the incarnation, the Eternal Son remained fully what he was and is (God) and became what until that moment he was not (man).

Jesus showed his divinity in many ways… His intimate knowledge of the Father and the Spirit Miracles Forgiving Sins His Resurrection

Jesus showed his humanity as well… He breathed the same air that we breath! He had a mom and a dad… He had friends…

He also experienced every emotion we could ever experience… These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. Jn 15:11 Happiness Pain My soul is very sorrowful, even to death Mk 14:34 Loss While in the dessert, Scripture tells us that Jesus was hungry and thirsty. Jesus wept Jn 11:1 Betrayal Jesus was tempted by the devil…but unlike us, he never sinned. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand Mk 14:42

What kind of evidence can you find in the Scripture?
