Cyndie, His divine nature. "518. "Christ's whole life is a mystery of recapitulation. All Jesus did, said and suffered had for its aim restoring fallen man to his original vocation: When Christ became incarnate and was made man, he recapitulated in himself the long history of mankind and procured for us a 'short cut' to salvation, so that what we had lost in Adam, that is, being in the image and likeness of God, we might recover in Christ Jesus.[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 18, 1: PG 7/1, 932.] For this reason Christ experienced all the stages of life, thereby giving communion with God to all men.[St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3, 18, 7: PG 7/1, 937; cf. 2, 22, 4.]" To view the context, please visit http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/creed4.html#WHOLE 668. "'Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.'[Rom 14:9 .] Christ's Ascension into heaven signifies his participation, in his humanity, in God's power and authority. Jesus Christ is Lord: he possesses all power in heaven and on earth. He is 'far above all rule and authority and power and dominion', for the Father 'has put all things under his feet.'[Eph 1:20-22 .] Christ is Lord of the cosmos and of history. In him human history and indeed all creation are 'set forth' and transcendently fulfilled.[Eph 1:10 ; cf. Eph 4:10 ; 1 Cor 15:24, 27-28 .]" To view the context, please visit http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/creed9.html#THENCE Emmaus |

It is hard to know what answer you are seeking. In saying that he is uniquely qualified, you recognize that he is qualified as no one else is qualified. Since the passage refers to the reconciliation as being "to himself", logic would dictate that only he could do it. Scripture says elsewhere that there is no one else like him, pure spotless, undefiled, etc. There was no one else without sin, who could die for the sins of others. But only he could reconcile someone else "to himself". It is hard to believe that that is the answer you want. But the passage itself says: "all things were created ... for him". Since it was lost, someone was needed to restore it. But only he could restore it "to himself". One other point: he is the one who shed his blood. Does that qualify him? |
