The appearance of the God-man Christ in the world of human realities was not a surprise for human nature either from an ontological, a psychological, or a historical point of view. On the contrary, it satisfied the fundamental yearnings and needs of man’s being: the yearnings and needs for divine perfection and eternal life. Not only is the God-man not something unnatural and unnecessary for man, but rather, on the contrary, He is something more vital to man than everything else—so vital that the all-true God Himself, the Lord Jesus proclaimed that He is the “one thing needful” (Luke 10:42). Why? Because He has solved the problem of God and man the most perfectly, the most naturally, the most fittingly, and the most logically. How? By showing to us, in a real and concrete way, God within Himself —God, Who is absolute Truth, absolute Good, absolute Justice, absolute Love, absolute Wisdom, in perfect unity with man — He therewith and thereby also showed us man in his sinlessness, immortality and perfection.
