"Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity"

This quote by Phillips Brooks speaks with the idea that Jesus Christ is the bridge in between the divine and the human. Through his life and teachings, Jesus revealed us that the divine can be found in the human, and that the human can be elevated to the divine. By his example, Jesus revealed us that we can be humble and compassionate, and that we can make every effort to be more like God. He also showed us that God wants to come down to our level and fulfill us where we are. Through Jesus, we can see that God is willing to forgive us and accept us, no matter how far we have wandered off. In this method, Jesus is the ideal example of the "condescension of divinity" and the "exaltation of humanity". He is the bridge in between the 2, and through him, we can find a method to connect with the divine and to become more like God.
