Christ as Mystery

"Christ is a Mystery; in the mystical as well as in the sacramental sense of the word, and the more we approach him as such and we delve into the mystery, the more we come closer to God. We cannot say that we understand the mystery or the work of Jesus, but we can ask God to give us a sense of this mystery, which is beyond words."

-- From "The Sign of the Cross, the Gesture, the Mystery, the History"
by Dr. Andreas Andreopoulos, Lecturer in Christian theology at the University of Wales

Very good. In a world where everything is about "me" and what "I" get out of it. It's good to be reminded that the really important things are still mystery.
