This is the case because what Jesus\u2019 followers through the centuries have claimed about him is that Jesus is God and man, that:<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is the human locus of the divine, the human face of God<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 the incarnation of the \u201cSecond Person\u201d of the Tri-personal God<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 the Eternal Word made flesh.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And BECAUSE Jesus is God and man,<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0He is the Redeemer of the human race who negated a primordial curse<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0the Savior who delivers us from our enslavement to evil and the danger of final damnation<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0the transmitter of the very Life of God.<\/p>\n<p>If Jesus is indeed whom he and his followers say he is, then he is nothing less than the fulcrum of human history and human destiny.<\/p>\n<p>In this work we will try to show that Jesus is the Incarnation of Infinity. God and man and therefore our Savior.<\/p>\n<p>We will do this in three phases: WHAT, WHO and WHY<\/p>\n<p>In the first phase, the WHAT, we consider what is known, what is virtually indisputable, about Jesus. We review the top ten data-sets that point to Jesus\u2019 identity.<\/p>\n<p>In the second phase we move from the WHAT to the WHO. From what we know about Jesus, we turn to what is claimed about Jesus and why \u2013 and how we can make sense of it all.<\/p>\n<p>In phase three, we turn to the WHY question. Why did Jesus come? If he is whom he and his followers claimed him to be, why is that relevant to us? And, if it is relevant, <em>how<\/em> do we apply this truth to our lives?<\/p>\n<p>Ludwig Wittgenstein, the most influential philosopher of the last 100 years, speaking as a modern Jewish witness to the Resurrection, said, \u201cWhat inclines even me to believe in Christ&#8217;s resurrection? \u2026 If he did not rise from the dead \u2026 We are in a sort of hell \u00a0\u2026 cut off from heaven. But if I am to be REALLY saved, \u2013 \u00a0what I need is CERTAINTY \u2013 not wisdom, dreams or speculations \u2013 and this certainty is faith.

It is a story that plays out in three places: in God, in human history and in our lives. And we explore each in turn.<\/p>\n<p>God is Three Persons in infinite-eternal Love. For God is a beginningless, endless Act of Love of the Lover (the Father), the Beloved (the Son) and the Co-Beloved (the Spirit).\u00a0 The Three are One Heart. For to be Heart is to give all of one\u2019s being to the Other: to give totally, unconditionally, forever: to love. They are Three \u201ccenters\u201d in a single Ultimate Reality of Love. One Heart. This is the first \u201clevel\u201d of the Love Story.<\/p>\n<p>The Father loved us into being through his Son and his Spirit. We were created so that we too might be drawn into the infinite-eternal Love of the Three Persons, our hearts embedded in the Heart of God.<\/p>\n<p>But, as the hunter-gatherers and every ancient culture tells us, we chose not to respond in kind. Our hearts were hardened and we said No to the divine invitation of Love. The result was the ultimate heart attack of death and destruction. Nevertheless, our heart-broken Lover pursued us.<\/p>\n<p>On the human side, the religions of Africa, Mesoamerica, India, China, Persia, Israel and the Mediterranean societies recognized their Creator and sought forgiveness through the universal practice of sacrifice. But all recognized the breach could not be healed without a perfect sacrifice made by the sinless One. This understanding of God, God 1.0, culminated in the revelation received by the people of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The next stage of the Love Story in human history was the incarnation of the Son in Jesus of Nazareth. It was Jesus who revealed God 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>He proclaimed a revolution: \u201cThe hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The whole identity and mission of Jesus of Nazareth centered on the Father. Jesus addressed God only as Father. The Father revealed by Jesus was:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>prodigal in his limitless love, all Heart<\/li>\n<li>more intimate than any earthly parent and therefore called <em>Abba <\/em>(the affectionate Aramaic expression for one\u2019s own father) and, above all,<\/li>\n<li>\u201cour\u201d Father meeting all our needs, all the time, and drawing us into GodSpace, the protection and provision of his Providence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Henceforth, we cannot see God except as the infinitely, unconditionally loving Father who makes us his children through his Son and in his Holy Spirit. God 2.0. God <em>as<\/em> Heart.<\/p>\n<p>By his death and resurrection, Jesus made the perfect sacrifice and removed the barrier to our union with God. Through the waters of baptism, we are invited to be re-invented as a new race: redeemed by the Son and filled with the Spirit and thereby children of the Father in the fullest sense who will live \u201chappily ever after\u201d.\u00a0 This is level two of the Love Story.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final level of the Love Story is our own life. We are each love letters written by the Father. If we accept his offer of eternal union, we become <em>his<\/em> Love Story.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; specialty=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/triuneverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/41NjivZNZEL._SX331_BO1204203200_.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;41NjivZNZEL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; specialty_columns=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Eternity\u2019s time has come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cWhen the <em>time<\/em> for Pentecost was <em>fulfilled<\/em>, they were all in one place together.\u00a0 And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.\u00a0 Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.\u00a0 And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and begin to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. <span>\u2026 <\/span>Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, \u2026 \u201c<em>This is what was spoken through the prophet Joel<\/em>: \u2018It will come to pass <em>in the last days<\/em>,\u2019 God says, \u2018that I will pour out a portion of <em>my spirit<\/em> upon all flesh.\u201d (<em>Acts<\/em> 2:1,4, 14, 16-7)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was the<em> mysterium tremendum et fascinans<\/em> \u2013 the Mystery tremendous and fascinating:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">An explosion of endless energy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">\u00a0Signs and wonders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 120px;\">Power and Glory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px;\">\u00a0The birthing of the WAY that is TRUTH and LIFE.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0It was a never-ending Event:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The descent of a divine Force.
