Jesus “became the God-man, not for a mere 33 and 1/2 years but for eternity. He who was one with God is now one with us, so that we can be one with the Father through the intimacy of His eternal union with the Father. He came not only to write our names in the Lamb’s book of life, He came to make us one with the Lamb. He did not come to give us the right hand of fellowship and then hold us at arms length. He came to pull us into the bosom of God, giving us union with the Holy Trinity through the Son, now the God-Man. Because we are one with Jesus we have been drawn into mystical union and fellowship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” (From “The Self-Talk of God”, by H. Lamar Smith)
