Jesus is God in human flesh. He is not half God and half man. He is fully divine and fully man. That is, Jesus has two distinct natures: divine and human. Jesus is the Word who was God and was with God and was made flesh, (John 1:1 ,14).  This means that in the single person of Jesus is both a human and divine nature.  The divine nature was not changed. It was not altered. He is not merely a man who "had God within Him" nor is he a man who "manifested the God principle." He is God, second person of the Trinity. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word," (Heb. 1:3 , NIV). Jesus' two natures are not "mixed together," nor are they combined into a new God-man nature. They are separate yet act as a unit in the one person of Jesus. This is called the Hypostatic Union.
The following chart should help you see the two natures of Jesus "in action":

I pulled into a car park recently and before me was a bumper sticker that said ‘Jesus is the Answer’. Many will ask when they see a sign like that, if Jesus is the Answer, What is the question? Well as a Christian minister, one who believes that the Word of God (the bible) is God’s infallible truth then the questions must include ‘How do I find the meaning to life?’ ‘How can I reach God?’ ‘How can I spend eternity in His presence?’ What is the path to salvation?’ These questions from a Christian’s point of view can only be met with ‘Jesus is the answer’! To be a bible believing Christian and to say otherwise is to be hypocritical.
