The world is filled with mighty books of explanations.
Countless are lines of heavy content demanding years of study.
Like an onion getting rid of it´s layers we finally come to a core.
Christ reflects the Imago Dei, the image of God.
Through him God is looking to every human.
In Christ all love is crowned with tenderness and care.
In Christ all broken is fixed.
And in Christ all pain and sadness is not forgotten.
Both, love and pain become in him a way of accomplishment.
The accomplishment is not perfection in a way of no failure, but giving the small and meaningless a status of beauty.
And beauty, even meaningless and imperfect beauty, does not need any force and pressure to accomplish anything. Beauty does not look for accomplishment, for beauty herself is accomplishment, accomplishment of the small and meaningless and imperfect.
Thus the human is Imago Dei by a gift and not by diligence and good will.
And Christ is that gift...
