Abstract

The event of the Incarnation is linked with the creation and the Trinity dogma. The Word that became flesh had existed since the beginning; the I ncarnation is a consequence of the intra-Trinitarian relationship. Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God – this is the central Christological truth, whose gospel testimony is to be found in the words of Jesus Himself and in His prayer. Therefore, the event of the Incarnation is at the same time an event of revelation and salvation: Jesus is the real “place” of G od’s presence. The historical singularity and the material limitation of Jesus of Nazareth’s life as well as the consequent sacramental spirituality of the Church are, on the one hand, a manifestation of G od’s humility and, on the other, a guarantee of divine presence and the definiteness of salvation.
