The blossom of your humanity is the life of Jesus in you. You get to live his life! Or what is salvation after all?

Jesus stands first in the line of humanity that God is restoring. He is not merely a model—that would be unreachable, crushing. He is the means by which God is restoring our humanity. That is what Christianity is supposed to do to a person. This happens as his life invades ours. The incarnation continues . . . in you.
