The receives the „seal” of the Prototype. Reading out this sing in the universe we may admire the Creator. Receiving this image and likeness - a deposit that is supposed to be realised in his life - man can become like the Prototype and acquire the „form” of the Icon. Jesus Christ knows the Father best, He is His most perfect Icon. Whoever sees Him sees the Father. The figure of Jesus Christ is a human image of God. Man, created in image and likeness of God, becomes an icon of the Prototype. He is an icon, being a person, according to the pattern of the personal Creator. It is the icon that has in itself an immortal deposit - the soul which feels yearning for the Whole, desire to be united (to return) to the Fullness of Life, being like the Prototype through deification, being like the Icon of God - Jesus Christ, by way of imitating Him. The founder of the Church - Jesus Christ - establishes a salvific fellowship whose taks to follow the Prototype. Making the Church, constituting the „Body of the Church” is to put into practice, in the historical (worldly) time, a fellowship according to the pattern of the Holy Trinity. The mystery of the Icon is reflected in the very fact of God’s presence among us. It is the God who encourages us to dialogue. The mystery of the image and the whole Person of Christ also shows a man to a man. It is a man who loves another man and becomes the icon of God’s love.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/ikonaobrazikona Bogaikona Trójcy Świętejikona Jezusa Chrystusaikonicznośćikoniczność KościołaObjawienie BożeteologiaBógJezus ChrystusTrójca ŚwiętaKościółiconimageicon of Godicon of Holy Trinityicon of Jesus Christiconic charactericonicityiconic character of the Churchiconicity of the ChurchGod's revelationtheologyGodJesus ChristHoly TrinityChurchArticle
