Description
In this address, Bishop Fulton Sheen explores the humanity of Christ, emphasizing the often-overlooked aspect alongside His divinity. He delves into the contradiction presented in Isaiah and Hebrews regarding Christ being reckoned with sinners yet separated from them. Bishop Sheen explains how Christ's unlimited human nature, devoid of a human personality, encompasses the entire human experience. He explores the repercussions of Adam's sin and argues that through the incarnation, Christ incorporated the humanity of every individual. The address also touches on the concept of transference, with physical, psychic, and moral dimensions, illustrating how Christ bore the suffering, illnesses, and sins of humanity to bring salvation to all.
