‘In the Son’s “descent” into flesh he first
of all reveals himself, his self-abasing, humble and obedient love. … [He is]
not only a sublime metaphor of
eternal love, but Eternal Love itself. Moreover, Eternal Love is not only present
in this man but also, in him, manifests and interprets its very nature and
renders it visible. … | [N]ot some neutral “nature” of God, but … the particular
“nature”, the innermost character of the Father who sent him. What entered
earthly visibility was the Father’s divine Image, his “Word”, …a Person: his
Son.’[1]
