According to the material, which description correctly states Jesus' person and nature?

• A. Jesus is two separate persons with one nature.
• B. Jesus is one person with two natures.
• C. Jesus is only divine and not human.
• D. Jesus has two separate wills in conflict.

Answer: (B)

The main concept tested is how Jesus is truly God and truly human at the same time, existing as one person with two natures—the divine and the human—united in the incarnation. The description that fits best is that Jesus is one person with two natures. This reflects the Church’s teaching of the hypostatic union: a single divine Person, the Son, possesses both a divine nature and a human nature, without mixing them, changing one into the other, or dividing the Person. It also avoids saying there are two separate persons, which would undermine the unity of Christ, and it avoids denying humanity or suggesting two separate wills in perpetual conflict. Instead, there is one Person whose human will cooperates with the divine will, in harmony.
