    What Does Jesus Tell About Himself?

    Uploaded by

    Jesus is both fully God and fully man. As God, he reconciled humanity with God, revealed God's love, and made it possible for humanity to share in divine life. As a man, Jesus experienced human emotions and aspects of life like having a family, friends, hunger, and suffering while also living a sinless life. The Church took centuries to precisely describe Jesus' dual nature to affirm he is 100% God and 100% man to redeem all of humanity.

    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!

    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!
    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!!!


    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.

    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,
    Happiness that my joy may be in you, and that
    your joy may be full. Jn 15:11
    Pain My soul is very sorrowful,
    even to death Mk 14:34

    Loss While
    Jesusinwept
    the Jn
    dessert,
    11:1 Scripture tells us
    that Jesus was hungry and thirsty.
    Betrayal
    Jesus was tempted by the devil…but
    Rise, let us be going; see, my unlike us, he never sinned.
    betrayer is at hand Mk 14:42
    What kind of evidence can you find
    in the Scripture?
