If the “Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost,” this was not merely in order to reestablish man in a favorable juridical position with regard to God: it was to elevate, change, and transform man into God, in order that God might be revealed in Man, and that all men might become One Son of God in Christ. The New Testament texts in which this mystery is stated are unequivocal, and yet they have been to a very great extent ignored not only by the faithful, but also by theologians.
