the most affirming Robert Farrar Capon .......

The Mystery of Christ.

The Mystery of the incarnation of the Word of God.
The Mystery of the Eternal Son.
The Mystery of the Holy and Undivided Trinity.

The Mystery of Christ is to be believed not intellectualised.
The Mystery of Christ has been revealed:
when Jesus of Nazareth walked this Earth;
by the Presence of the Ascended Lord Jesus Christ.

The Mystery of Christ is not the property of the church;
The Mystery of Christ is not confined to the church;
The Mystery of Christ is not a localised phenomenon.
The Mystery of Christ is not confined to a transactional response.

The Mystery of Christ is far more
than a metaphysical truth (or mystical perception).
The Mystery of Christ is the action of
the Mystery making a New Creation in, through, and for us.
The Mystery of Christ is the Presence of Someone
who is there for us regardless of what we believe, think, or feel.

The Mystery of Jesus Christ is above debate.
The Mystery of Jesus Christ is our life.
The Mystery of Jesus Christ holds the worlds together.
The Mystery of Jesus Christ is the Joy of all our Desiring.
