When Christian teachers talk or write about the “Christ” it does not seem that the word signifies the person of Jesus of Nazareth, but a concept meant to convey a sense of God-in-man. Beyond the teachings and selfless example of Jesus there is in the story of the cross and resurrection a sense of eternal, death-defying and saving Grace. This is something that cannot be understood by the intellect, but it can be absorbed in our hearts. Jesus becomes the Christ to the open and welcoming heart. In the resurrected Jesus the human became The Christ and we who pray and seek communion with The Christ are enveloped in and guided by the blessing of God. There is mystery in this, and beauty.
