The Transcending Union

God reaches down and dips His finger in the sea of humanity. Christ is born. Divine takes on flesh. Flesh is infused with the Divine. The Spirit is given and takes residence in all who believe the good news of salvation accomplished by the mercy and power of God.

Christ arose and ascended into heaven and is seated with God. He sits wearing the mantle of humanity, the imperishable body made possible through the passion and resurrection of Jesus.

We are brought into the presence of God by that Divine transaction. The Spirit is given to us. God has received the Son, the first fruits of the harvest to come. We abide in Him and are raised with Him. We sit in fellowship with the Father and Son. The Spirit comes to us as a sign and confirmation of our inclusion in the Holy Presence, which is the kingdom of God. Heaven’s reach comes into the hearts of man. We are brought before God in the form of the new man in Christ. The transcending union of God and man is only made possible by the work of His Son Jesus. That is why Jesus says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
