If one is to understand Catholicism they must attest to the fact that “Jesus is the focus of Christianity, the object of divine revelation, symbol of God and exemplor of human life.” A main aspect that makes Jesus so central to the Catholic faith today is the concept of Jesus being both fully human yet fully divine at the same time. This is one of the godly mysteries of his being. It establishes a bond for understanding and exemplary living to followers because like themselves Jesus was human and shares the same fears, emotions, and convictions of humanity, but also at the same time he was the word of God, divinely God in the flesh. Since the early days of the Catholic Church to present times theologians have searched and debated to find answers and understanding of this concept. To understand the relationship of fully human and divine, one must examine Jes

Within the Church many councils have met to unite the understanding of Jesus as fully human and fully divine and establish this belief as well as his teachings into the religious faith. Four main councils were the Nicea, the Constantinople, the Ephesus, and the Chalcedon. From these councils creeds were established that proclaim the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit as one triune God. The creeds affirm that the three were begotten from the beginning, never made, and are all of one substance of the father. These creeds help secure this understanding through history of the faith to today.

One final aspect of Jesus’ life that exemplifies his humanity and divinity is the end of his life. Jesus being human is subjected to suffering and death something all followers share with him. Jesus’ divinity is there because he knows this is the will of God and through the power of God Jesus is resurrected, securing all humanities salvation. His divinity transcends the human coil becoming one with God again and opening the door for humanity to be with God as well.

Another event is when Jesus is in the marketplace in the temple of Jerusalem. Jesus is angered by the merchants that are profiting on Gods Sabbath day. His anger shows a human characteristic, but it is Gods anger because it was Jewish law that forbade them from doing so. The merchants where taking God out of the temple in their actions.
