When God decided to share Godself, to overflow into others, the Godhead selected one of Themselves in particular to Christ the happening of it ..
Word, Expression of God, undertook the Human Expression and everything connected with it ..
and the human being became a living soul, imaged in the likeness of Elohim God, Christed with authority over Creation, to care for it in honor of its Creator, and to reproduce Images of God, filling the good Earth with goodness, reflecting the nature of Creator God for all to see - all the Authorities and Powers and Rulers in the cosmos will witness the goodness of God in the Christed creation.
When the created Images of God rejected the authority of the God in whose likeness they were imaged, the Word expressed and took on flesh, leaving behind the form of God. The one who existed before the creation and by whom everything was created - the things visible as well as the invisible Thrones and Rulerships and Kingdoms and Authorities in the worlds unseen - took human form as the ultimate visible expression of God to humanity, to reorient the Christed humanity to God and reconcile their injured relationship.
Through the deathblood of this humanized Christ. we are ushered into God's presence holy, blameless, standing without fault before God in Christ. This is an unfathomable and perplexing mystery that calls forth our faith, trusting that the same person who created us also redeemed us, this Christ, and claims us as God's own possession, God's inheritance, in Christ, sons and daughters in good standing.
The very one by whom creation exists and continues to exist instantiates as very Human, and stands-in before God for all humanity, to be, one good day, recognized universally as the God in whom all humanity is embraced and included, one with the Father through the Son of Man .. one with God in Christ ..
.. and our home will be God's home, and we will each be perfected Images of the Living God, Expressing God's goodness throughout God's good creation, and God will be all in all ..
all because of Christ ..
