C.A.R.E. Reflection Question
There is only one Jesus.
Why, then, are there four
different accounts of Jesus’
life in the four Gospels-
Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John?

 #Doctrine
Integration
Jesus as the God-man
was a Jew who lived
among his fellow
countrymen at a
particular point in
history,
in a specific society
and within a certain
culture.
This truth is
proclaimed by his
Incarnation,
the mystery of God
the Son becoming
flesh and dwelling
among us.
Jesus Christ is the
Emmanuel, the God-
who-is-with-us.
But as the God-man,
our Christian faith
teaches us that Jesus
is trans-historical.
Jesus constantly
referred to his mission
from the father as
something to be
continued…
Recall and share the
times when you feel
Jesus strong
presence.
What does being
human mean?
