Resumen de la Escritura

We are close to the reality of Jesus, in whom we have invested so much of our life and faith. Jesus is larger than life, shattering all the categories of conventional religious recognition.

Rather, it is an awareness that many things must be said about Jesus, because no single claim says enough.
