Christ’s obedience which belongs to the mystery of the covenant is characterized by a specific form and content. It is focused on the fulfilling of the will of the Father, constituting the raison d’etreof Jesus Christ and internally defining His entire mission of salvation. Addressing the issue of Christ’s obedience as a crucial dimension of His existence and His divine mission among people implies the reflection on His love, His will to give Himself to save the world and His freedom of the Son of God who became man “for us”. Thus, the Christology of obedience constitutes the foundation of anthropology and defines its appropriate form. Therefore, it is in Christ’s human freedom, based on and expressed in His obedience, where our freedom of men and Christians is decided.
