No 101 In what sense is the life of Christ a Mystery? (512- 521, 561-562)
WHAT DOES THE COMPENDIUM SAY?
Compendium states: not
The entire life of Christ
is a revelation. What was visible in the
earthly life of Christ leads us to the invisible mystery of the divine sonship ’’
whoever has Me has seen the Father’’
(Jn 14:9). Furthermore, even though salvation comes completely from the cross and Resurrection, the entire life of Christ is a mystery of redemption because everything that Jesus did, said and suffered had for its aim the salvation of fallen human beings and the restoration of their vocation as children of God.

PERSONAL RESPONSE
What does this mean for me?
- I
can thank God constantly for being God and wanting to restore me to full
life in Him as a child of God.
- I
can be, through the grace of God, an example to other people by my life to plant a seed to help them turn their
minds and hearts back to God, their Father, Jesus His Son through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
- I
can ponder carefully all that Jesus did and said recorded in the New
Testament to appreciate more deeply His aim of salvation for myself and
for the world.
- I
can thank God that the mission of Jesus was to save.
