but there is more...

A recent open-letter from Christopher West has re-inspired me with a longing to know the Truth (cf. John 14:6).  The truth of our humanity is revealed in - and by - Jesus Christ.  But there is more.  Our humanity also reveals a Truth about God - for we are made male and female in the image and likeness of God (see Genesis 1:26-27).  The words of West touch upon this truth, this reality; his words also touch upon the truth and reality of our redemption in Christ.  And as John Paul II once said: without the reality of the redemption, humanity lacks roots, and has no prospects.  These are strong words.  They are words that have caused me to grasp for a better understanding of what this truth, this reality, must look like - the truth of our redemption.
