Jesus reveals God as the God who cares, who comes to live among us, who shares our lot, who makes our lost cause his cause, and who adopts us as his children and heirs. Jesus also reveals the true human being, who serves God from love, who finds life's meaning in service to God and neighbor, and who exists for others. God's goal for his creation-"I shall be your God, and you shall be my people"- is our most concise summary of the covenant. In Jesus' life, both parts become a reality: he reveals the true god who loves us and the true human person who serves God in thankfulness.
