71. Do we also call Jesus God?

We do not call Jesus God, because we know that he was in reality a man.

72.  From what sources are we informed that Jesus was a real man?

We know that Jesus was a real man from the Gospels, where he first called himself a man and the son of man. But his real humanity is verified by his whole life as well: he was born, grew up in body and spirit, was happy, sorrowful, hungry, thirsty, suffered and died.

Jesus was considered to be a man by his disciples and his contemporaries as well.

73.   How did Jesus differ from other people?

Jesus differed from other people in that he lived according to the laws of God and all of his actions agreed with the will of his providential Father, so that he became for us "the way, the truth and the life."
