“I looked at Him through the blood and the haze, and finally found the breath I didn't think I had left. The world was screaming, but in that small space between our crosses, there was only a terrifying, beautiful silence. 'Jesus,' I rasped, the word tasting of salt and soul, 'remember me when you come into your kingdom.” HopeJesus ChristSalvationRedemptionGospelChristian FictionBiblical FictionDismasThe Crucifixion Author:David Hudnall
“To illustrate the nature of this theandric reciprocity, Thomas invokes, as an example, the physical touch of Jesus’s hand: “he wrought divine things humanly, as when he healed the leper with a touch.” The touch of a human being is not in itself miraculous, and even in Jesus this human action is not humanly healing. The miraculous fact of the healing power of this human touch, rather, as Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange puts it, “proceeds from God as the principal cause and from Christ’s human nature as the instrumental cause.” Jesus works divine things humanly. More ultimately, Jesus wills the divine will of salvation humanly. And so he wills theandrically in the sense that what he wills has an “infinite value” that “derives from the divine suppositum that is the agent which operates”. The deifying effects of the Incarnation are thus contingent on the theandric fact of the interpenetrating unity of divine-human operations.” ReligionJesusChristianityJesus ChristTheologyReligion And PhilosophyThe CrossReligious StudiesPatristicsChristologySystematic TheologyChristian HumanismDivine HumanityChristian ThoughtThe Crucifixion Author:Aaron Riches
