Jesus on earth was both God and Man.
And we, the sons and daughters of Adam, are both divine and human. Jesus is the only uncreated Son of God. Adam, our father is a created son being
formed from the dust of the earth though in the image of God.
The divine and the human in us make each of us two rather than one. The tension between the two is due to conflict and not harmony. The misery of life is due to the
suppression of the divine element by the human. One continues in the conflict
in the hope that the divine will ultimately overcome the human. The hope is
really a promise made by God through Christ.
The Lord has striven much within me. His beautiful strife has produced much
beauty. There is much I haven't said. My words conceal and reveal. Not all will be
revealed. In the mystery of the divine is the beauty.
