But what if they represented two stages of one and the same story? A story that is also being written in us? Jesus himself lived through a process. He was born as the Son of Man. And he was formed as Christ by the Spirit. What God began in the human being Jesus, He wants to continue in us. **The same Christ who was formed in Jesus is being formed in each one who believes.** ## The First Stage: Natural Life Redeemed Jesus was born like us. He lived like us. He grew up, worked, wept, rejoiced. Until, when he was baptized, something extraordinary happens: *As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. At that moment the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on him.* **[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/3/16?ref=amemamem.com.br)** It was at that moment that Jesus received the Spirit of God and was anointed to begin the mission that would change everything. He himself acknowledges it: *The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.* **[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/lc/4/18?ref=amemamem.com.br)** ## The Uncounted Time: When God Does Not Count the Past Curiously, the gospels say almost nothing about Jesus' life from age 12 to 30. A silence that says a lot. It is as if God were saying: “I do not count the years without My presence. I do not define anyone by their mistakes or by what they have not yet lived in Me.” *Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, new things have come!* **[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/2co/5/17?ref=amemamem.com.br)** ## The Desert: Where Identity Is Tested Before performing miracles, Jesus is led by the Spirit into the desert. *Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.* **[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/4/1?ref=amemamem.com.br)** In the desert, the struggle is not physical. It is spiritual. At each temptation, Jesus answers: “*It is written…*“ *The devil said to him: “If you are the Son of God…”.* *Jesus answered: “It is written…‘”.* *The devil led him and* *said to him: “I will give you all the authority …* *So, if you worship me, it will all be yours”.* *Jesus answered: “It is written:…’”.* *The devil led him … and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, … f* *or it is written:…’”. *[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/lc/4/3-11?ref=amemamem.com.br)** But, at this decisive moment, Jesus says: “*It is said…*” *Jesus answered: “It is said…’”.* **[→](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/lc/4/12?ref=amemamem.com.br)** There, He does not merely quote. He listens to what the Spirit is saying in the present. And the enemy backs away. *When he had finished all these temptations, the devil left him until an opportune time. *[→ ](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/lc/4/13?ref=amemamem.com.br)** For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

God already knows what we are going to say before we open our mouths. *For your Father knows what you need, even before you ask him. [*→* ](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/6/8?ref=amemamem.com.br)* ## The Second Stage: The Human Becoming an Expression of the Divine After overcoming the desert, Jesus manifests something new. The Christ is revealed through Him. But this formation is not exclusive to Him. **The same Christ who was formed in the human being Jesus, God wants to form in us.** *My children, once again I am suffering birth pains because of you, until Christ is formed in you.* [**→** ](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/gl/4/19?ref=amemamem.com.br) ## Who Is with Us Now? The Holy Spirit Today, it is the Holy Spirit who leads this transformation. *To them God chose to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.* [**→** ](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/cl/1/27?ref=amemamem.com.br) ## Conclusion: A New Generation Is Being Born Jesus represents the beginning, the redemption of humanity. Christ represents the destination, the new creation. The path does not end in Jesus. The path continues in Christ, being formed in us. *He who has ears, let him hear!* [**→** ](https://www.bibliaonline.com.br/nvi/mt/11/15?ref=amemamem.com.br)
