AS I HAVE LOVED YOU - Rediscovering Our Salvation in Christ
— Fr. Timothy V. Vaverek
Over many centuries, Christians have lost sight of the heart of the Eternal Covenant: our nuptial union with God in Jesus as members of His Body and Bride. This has fueled a growing crisis of Christian identity and witness. Only by rediscovering the depth and beauty of our salvation in Christ will we be drawn to share more fully in His life and saving mission. But that requires encountering anew the scriptural and early Christian understanding of redemption as a nuptial bond rather than merely a juridical pardon of sin. Beginning with the Trinity’s revelation of Himself and His Covenant in the person of Jesus, As I Have Loved You examines our own existence as persons and how the Covenant relationship weds us to Christ in His loving service of God and neighbor. That union prepares us for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, when we will know and love God even as He knows and loves us.
