Walter Wink on Christ's Humanity

"And this is the revelation: God is HUMAN... It is the great error of humanity to believe that it is human. We are only fragmentarily human, fleetingly human, brokenly human. We see glimpses of our humanness, we can on;y dream of what a more human existence and political order would be like, but we have not yet arrived at true humanness. Only God is human, and we are made in God's image and likeness - which is to say, we are capable of becoming human."

Walter Wink, Just Jesus, p. 102.

To put it another way, Jesus alone is Human Being. We are, together, Human Becoming more than Human Being.
