The Mystery of the Gospel

Christ is the image of the invisible God,

in whom all the fullness of divinity dwells

in bodily form, and in whom we are made 

complete and become partakers

of the divine nature.

God's Humanity and Our Divinity

Christ is God's humanity and our divinity.

Whatever is True of Christ

The Incarnation means that whatever is true of Christ in his humanity is true of us in ours. But it also means that we partake of his divinity and become by grace what Christ is by nature.

There is No Contest

When the brokenness of sin meets

the faithfulness of Christ?

No contest.

When the power of death meets

the life of Christ?

No contest.

Sin and death were doomed by the Incarnation,

when God became one with us.

Not Moralism but New Life

Christ did not come

to institute a new moralism

but to give us New Life.

Christ is God's Yes and Our Yes

Christ is not only God’s Yes to us,

He is also our Yes to God.

The Beginning of Christian Theology

Christian theology does not begin

with philosophy or theological abstraction but

with the concrete revelation of God

in Jesus Christ through

the Holy Spirit.
