Isaiah 60:5
Jesus ... is fully human, body, soul and spirit. And yet we believe, as Christians, that this is the Son of God. Without confusion of his divine and human natures, he is the absolute in human form. Perhaps we can understand Jesus' identity as the Son of God more clearly by thinking of him in terms of the revelation of the Trinity.
That revelation affirms what the mystics of all religions have intuited: that the ultimate nature of infinite being is love. God, the ultimate reality, the absolute, in a way beyond our comprehension, is a community of persons. As the Father has life in himself and pours it into his Son, and they rejoice in it together in the procession of the Holy Spirit, so the Son who has life in himself, shares the divine life with the whole human family through the outpouring of the holy Spirit, and invites everyone to the banquet of eternal life.
Isaiah 60:5
Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy...
