Christmas and its timeless message
In fact, he points out, among other things, that "The God-Man Jesus Christ is a perfect God and a perfect man. The two natures, divine and human, were united in the person or substance of God the Word. By his birth the uncreated truth, the uncreated eternal reality, enters in time into the world. The coming of the God-Man Jesus Christ implies the uncreated truth of eternal life after death."
The following is the detailed opinion of Professor Michael Mantzana on the topic "Christmas and its timeless message"
"The birth of the God-man Jesus Christ is an irrefutable historical event that brings salvific hope to the believer. The God-Man Jesus Christ was born for the salvation of men from the corruption of evil and death. The Incarnation or the incarnation of the Son and Word of God, according to the doctrine of Orthodox Theology, was supernaturally effected by the Spirit of the Holy One and Mary the Virgin at the Annunciation of the Virgin. The supernatural message of Christmas is inspired by a soteriological perspective, is timelessly topical and audaciously true. The God-Man Jesus Christ is a perfect God and a perfect man. The two natures, divine and human, are united in the person or substance of God the Word. By his birth the uncreated truth, the uncreated eternal reality, enters into the world in time. The coming of the God-man Jesus Christ implies the uncreated truth of eternal life after death. The uncreated truth of the God-Man Jesus Christ is an objective reality. By his birth the God-Man Jesus Christand by his resurrection he conquered the material, created corruption of death and delivered the privilege of salvation to the believer. Worthy of attention, undeniable acceptance and objective scientific observation is the timeless fact that the God-Man Jesus Christ divided history into two parts, pre-Christ and post-Christ.
The message of the birth of the God-man Jesus Christ in an age where, according to Heraclitus and P. Bourdieu, there is no reality but the field of an endless struggle to define reality, points to the need to redefine our lives and to move from the virtual power of confrontation, conflict, conflict, division and death to the truth of eternal life. The historical event of the birth of the God-Man Jesus Christ inoculates believers with inner freedom and the saving truth of eternal life. The truth signified to us by the birth of the God-Man Jesus Christ is the transcendence of the obsession with the created and the material and marks the transition to the uncreated and the spiritual that contributes to the salvation of human beings."
