Humanity's True Potential

 Bernadette Roberts

Christ, then, is the 'Way' this plan works, the end being man’s eternal oneness with and in God.  Another way to put it, this archetype (Christ) stands for human potential - what human nature is to become. As the Fathers would say, “Man was created to be more than he is now”, more, that is, than even his original nature.  Another way to put it - man’s creation is not over until it is over, or until it has reached its destined end in God.
