Jesus is the one

“He is the one”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in whom lies all our hope of eternal salvation, though he was God became man for this reason, that man, having put himself far away from God, should not think he had been left far off and deserted. So he became our mediator, and thus after a fashion brought to an end the time of the distance which separated us from God, so that through him we might not remain far off, but could even draw near. 

Nothing, you see, is so closely joined together as the Word and God; again, nothing is so closely joined together as flesh and humanity. So, since the Word and God were a long way away from flesh and humanity, the Word became flesh, and joined humanity to God. So this Lord and Savior of ours, the Son of God, the Word of God who became flesh, taught those who believe in him how to live, taught them how to die; to live without greed, to die without fear. He taught us how to live, so that we might not die forever; he taught us how to die, so that we might live forever.
