Jesus, age 29.

Jesus, restored.

There is understood awareness (insight) that is earned by effort to understand.  And there is inspired awareness (revelation) that occurs (only) in a context of ecstasy and salvation.

1Cor 13:12.8 : “For now we see in a mirror dimly,” refers to insight.  ” … but then face to face.” refers to revelation.

And Whose is the Face that is seen Face to Face?  The Face of the Man.  The New (restored, healed) Adam.

adam means Man, an entity named Man, not a specific man and not the group called mankind, but rather an entity, Man.  This entity is not ordinarily contemplated by our taxonomy of real things.  He is, however, a real entity.

Resurrection is not a rebirth.  It is a regeneration, a healing, a restoration of Man (Old Adam) to Himself (New Adam).

New Adam means Healed Man, Restored Man, Healthy (Latin, salus) Man.

Death is a sleep, not an end, that is inherently restorative, healing, redemptive, healthful.  However, this is death by nature, not by suicide.

Paul was a Doctor of exegetical and existential diseases.  God, what a man, what he did!

Fall and Redemption in Christo (anointed Man) is the Christian articulation of the drama of life.

Ecce Homo! (New Adam) is the restored (risen) Christ,
Who is also the beaten (crucified) Christ.
