On the Cross, he added to all physical tortures the final agony of feeling God-forsaken. 5. Notice how the unknown writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews speaks of the humanity of Jesus. Nowhere in the New Testament is the humanity of Jesus set forth more vividly. We see him agonising in prayer (5:7) embracing the Cross with joy and faith (12:2).
Dec 18, 2017 · Paul says in 1 Timothy 2:5, “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man” — the human — “Christ Jesus.”. So, in his divine nature, Christ was fully God. In his human nature, he was fully man. In his divine nature, he had all the essential attributes of God during his incarnation, and in his human nature ...
But in order to reach that purity and holiness, we need to be purified through a journey of growth. This is why St. John built his Gospel as a journey of purification through the 6 signs he offers us (chapters 1 to 11), until we reach the Cross (18-19), and are enabled to “enter” into Jesus’ Opened Side. God doesn’t give his pearls to ...
- BEATIFIC VISION. The human knowledge of Christ includes the beatific, or intuitive, vision of God. This is today common and certain doctrine. See the decree of the Holy Office, June 5, 1918 (H.
- DEATH. Christ came to save all men from sin and its consequences through His Passion, death, and Resurrection: this is the faith one professes in the Credo.
- DIVINITY. Christ's divinity is in a true sense the basis of the Christian faith: with it stands or falls the religion named after Him. Of this central mystery this article (1) states the meaning as expressed in the Credo, (2) sketches the growth in the awareness of the Church, from Scripture to Credo, and (3) indicates the bearing on Christ's mission and men's salvation.
- HUMANITY. Jesus Christ was truly man. His humanity is not only a fact of observation or of history; it is also a mystery of faith. Hence the twofold question: What do we believe of the humanity of Christ?

The strict monotheism of the Old Testament meant any claim to deity would be ruled out as blasphemous. Israel was repeatedly warned that there is only one God, all other claims to religious worship being idolatry (e.g., Deut. 6:4, Isa. 44:6-8). The exile had reinforced this point.
Given this, Jesus’ repeated designation for God as his Father, with the entailment that he is the Son, was unprecedented and startling. The title “Son of God” was used in the Old Testament for the Messiah, and occasionally for Israel, but not for an individual.1 Jesus used “Father” as a personal name rather than a metaphor or a description of what ...
Jesus asserts his equality and identity with God in the face of blasphemy charges by the Jewish leaders. He is charged with making himself equal with God (John 5:16–47) and later for identifying himself with God (John 10:25–39). His accusers threaten the penalty for blasphemy. In both cases, Jesus denies the charge on the grounds that he is speakin...
To Jesus Christ are attributed works God alone can do. John declares that Jesus Christ is the eternal Word who made all things, who is with God and who is God (John 1:1–18). Not one thing came into existence apart from that Word. The Word who is “in the beginning” is “with God,” directed toward God and is God. This entails pre-existence. He is the ...
A number of New Testament passages express praise to Jesus Christ, indicating Christ to be an object of worship (John 1:1–18, Heb. 1:3f, Col. 1:15–20, Phil. 2:5–11, 2Tim. 2:11–13). The way Jesus is described requires that hymns be addressed to him. Not needing any special explanation, and assuming wide familiarity in the church, it seems likely tha...
Aug 29, 2024 · He gave them. Peter talks about this in 2 Peter chapter 1. Peter talks about how they saw His glory, and they’re talking about the transfiguration. Okay, so the point is, though, that Jesus, at every moment, He chose. This is why Jesus said, “Don’t you know I could snap my…”. He didn’t say, “Snap my fingers.”.

Jan 1, 2018 · The very context of the John 10 shows not that Jesus denies, but, on the contrary, asserts His divinity, for in the immediate antecedent of this passage He says interchangeably that nobody is able to take the disciples from His hands (John 10:28) and from the Father's hands (John 10:29).
