Was Jesus Divine?

  Lesson title -

Was Jesus More Divine Than Other People?

Of course, as Catholics, our Sacred Traditions and culture dictate that we believe in Christ's divinity.  We are fortunate that way.

The big question that then follows is, "Was Jesus Christ more divine than everyone else?"

Both traditional Gospels and especially the Nag Hammadi Gospels both seem to leave this critical question unanswered.  Nowhere does Jesus say, "I'm better than you are."  Oh, he claimed divinity 100% and often - but he then seemed to proffer this same divinity to all mankind.

His path of discipleship to Apostleship is thick with references to them acquiring His divine powers.  He specifically granted miracle-working authority to his Apostles after his resurrection.
