Bible Lesson 10
Who Is Jesus?
He Became a Human Being
When Jesus was born as a human, it changed history forever, and not just human or earthly history, but the eternal history of all that exists. God had made man in his image, but now God made himself in our image. He became one of us, subject to all the same weaknesses and temptations, but without sin, and also able to experience all the same joys and pleasures.
God loved us enough to become one of us, in order to bring us back to himself, so that we can be in close relationship with him forever… What a Savior!

Jesús se hizo humano
Juan 14
(7) Si ustedes realmente me conocieran, también sabrían quién es mi Padre. De ahora en adelante, ya lo conocen y lo han visto.
(8) Felipe le dijo: —Señor, muéstranos al Padre y quedaremos conformes.
(9) Jesús respondió: —Felipe, ¿he estado con ustedes todo este tiempo, y todavía no sabes quién soy? ¡Los que me han visto a mí han visto al Padre! Entonces, ¿cómo me pides que les muestre al Padre? (10) ¿Acaso no crees que yo estoy en el Padre y el Padre está en mí? Las palabras que yo digo no son mías, sino que mi Padre, quien vive en mí, hace su obra por medio de mí. (11) Sólo crean que yo estoy en el Padre y el Padre está en mí; o al menos crean por las obras que me han visto hacer.
Filipenses 2
(6) Aunque era Dios, no consideró que el ser igual a Dios fuera algo a lo cual aferrarse. (7) En cambio, renunció a sus privilegios divinos; adoptó la humilde posición de un esclavo y nació como un ser humano.

Jesus became human
John 14
If you all really knew me, you also would know who my Father is. From now on, you know him and have seen him.
Phillip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.”
Jesus responded to him, “Phillip, have I been with you all this time, and still you don’t know who I am? Those who have seen me have seen the Father! Therefore, why do you ask me to show you the Father? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say are not mine, but that my Father, who lives in me, does his work through me. Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe through the works that you have see me do.”
Philippians 2
Although he was God, he didn’t consider being equal to God to be something to cling to. Instead, he renounced his divine privileges; he adopted the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.
1. Listen to the audio as you read along with the Spanish on the left.
2. Open the English translation, and read the two side-by-side, making sure you understand the Spanish.
3. Close the English, and listen to the audio again, reading along in Spanish.
4. Close the Spanish, and listen once more. Maybe shut your eyes, and just try to understand as much as you can.
