Jesus Christ, Perfect Source and Model for the Renewal of Man

Summary/Abstract: Like God and Man, Jesus Christ fulfi lls God’s communion with man and man withGod, which at the same time represents the novelty brought by Him to all humanity,that is, its incorruptibility and resurrection, given through the Incarnation, Deathand Resurrection of Christ. Christ has deifi ed, that is, rejuvenating Adam’s oldimage. Thus, the transfi guration of man means the fulfi llment of his purpose, for incommunion with the incarnate, dead, and risen Word man is encompassed by thework of the Holy Spirit. This work received by man leads to a new way of life, tohis deifi cation accomplished by the resurrection, whose foundation and power is theResurrection of Christ. The Fathers of the Church (Saint Irenaeus of Lyon) speak ofan encirclement of our body with incorruptibility, with eternal glory, with the Spiritof the inside and the outside.
