theoria and praxis .. In this way, even in Christ's case, apart from his suffering and death on the cross, his superior personality and excellent spiritual life seem to be an independent value in and of itself. There is. But strangely, the appearance of Jesus Christ in the Gospel does not allow such an idea. Indeed, according to the Bible, one has great value that cannot be redeemed for the whole world. "Even if a person has the whole world, what would he benefit from losing his soul?" (Matthew 16; 26). But the value of this soul depends on God's salvation. In other words, the soul is so valuable that God does not spare it. Rather, it is more appropriate that the value has come out where God can save us. Salvation is the grace of God. It is not the value that a person has. Even in the Lord Jesus, all of his life is devoted to the last point, the Passion and the death on the cross, and the resurrection on the third day. Christ's death did not come from an accidental mistake. It was decided from the beginning like that. "Starting with Moses and all the prophets throughout the Bible," "Christ must suffer these hardships and enter into his glory" (Luke 24; 25-27). According to the New Testament, all of Christ was directed to the end and resurrection on the cross. If the last week of suffering, death, and resurrection is removed from his life, the thirty-odd years up to that point will be completely meaningless. If Christ's prayers, miracles, and teachings are made into mere evangelistic activities that have nothing to do with suffering or death, he overlooks the most important thing in Christ's life. Of course, it is Christ, the Son of God. Even if he did something unrelated to death on the cross at the end of himself, it must have been of great value as God's work. But the question is, did the Lord really do something like that, what had nothing to do with his end? This is also important if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and want to live as your own life, not in your own life. Even in prayer life, we cannot think of fellowship with God just because we enjoy the sweetness of spiritual life in the world of ideas, like Gnosticism. What I want to say here is not that meditation or contemplation in prayer life is meaningless, or that it is a heresy of Gnosticism. However, what I do not want to forget here is the fact that the Gospel tells us that, for example, when Christ had the most brilliant figure on earth, that brilliance was at the end of the Passion and the Cross. The Lord climbed the mountain to pray, "While he was praying, his face changed and it's batter shined dazzlingly white." Moses and the area appeared in glory, "Jesus. was talking about the last thing in Jerusalem ”(Luke 9; 28-31) This is not the figure of the Greek gods who reign over the mountains of Olympus and play with the thread of fate that moves the world on earth. While they are immersed in a sense of superiority as gods, the fate of human beings on earth moves freely by themselves. As a result, no matter how much humans cry or scream, they have nothing to do with the gods. The ruthless gods. Unlike Mount Olympus, Jesus, the god of Mount Tabor, is not a god to play with the thread of human destiny on earth. On the contrary, he is a god who saves people in exchange for his own life. His brilliant appearance was not the brilliance of the gods who reigned over humans who were confused by their destiny. It was the brilliance of love of the God of salvation, going to "the last thing to achieve in Jerusalem."

c "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man"（Luke2;52). Nazareth Jesus is the son of God Christ. As a person, he also looked directly at Heavenly Father. However, God appears not as one limited thing but on the side of the subject in man's consideration. And this Visión Beatífìca was not clearly conscious of it from the beginning of Christ's life. All things about a person's being himself and his conscience are his own. Nevertheless, it is clearly considered only while working with the necessity in the place of not the self but the outside life. In Christ's case, it is the same thing. The Lord had an awareness that he was the son of God and that he was actually God. It comes to come out the mission which can be accomplished only as a child of God to people around it in the place of life from the outside, especially the place of work, and to do the heart and power toward this name. It is possible to think about the relation between the inside and the outside of the mind in the place of life here. From the beginning, Jesus was not looking for a good job worthy of himself as a God, burning with consciousness and a sense of mission as a God. He works as the son of a poor carpenter who is truly unreliable to the almighty God. People around him were also thinking about what he could do to the carpenter's child. Jesus was not secretly aiming at the time when he was confident as a god and raised a flag. Nor did he hide in his heart that he was great in God. Jesus in the Gospels is quite different. The Lord Jesus has dedicated this earthly world into life as its Savior. It grows up to consideration as the child of my God according to it. But this does not require the Lord to think that at first he did not know himself as a child of God, but that he came to understand it as a year. Everyone knows from the beginning that he is who he is. However, it is vaguely alive as me at the beginning. It comes to understand that it was me more deeply and overall up to now while the body and the mind ripen in work and work.The Lord also deepened his understanding of being himself, and at the same time his understanding of God. It is not something that deepens by being thoughtfully, into one's consciousness, or by being drawn back. Rather, the Lord's feelings as me have opened up in the outside world as a place of life, not in me, but in the fellowship with neighbors, in the place where they respond to their needs. As far as that went, his feelings as a god deepened.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Psalm 103:2-5
