Człowieczeństwo Jezusa Chrystusa odsłania oblicze człowieka

Abstract

Jesus Christ turns out to be not only a visible icon of invisible God but in His human nature unveils the true countenance of every human being. An analysis of evangelical sources makes it possible to reconstruct human nature of Jesus as a historical person. It appears that in the mystery of Incarnation the Son of God in a way united with every human being. This solidarity assumed a shape of deep communion since in His earthly existence He experienced the hardships of life which we all suffer. Working with human hands, thinking in human mind, acting on human will, loving with human heart, He truly became one of us, resembling us in everything but sin. The Rabbi of Nazareth showed us not only how to live but that it is possible to lead a holy life. The first and complete source of absolute righteousness and holiness in the whole reality of earthly life was for Jesus of Nazareth His filial relationship with God, the Father. Into this unity with the heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit He wanted to bring every human being since it is only in such a communion that human being acquires his or her true, genuine countenance.
