In God's intervention in Christ, there is the revelation of God's relationship and attitude towards this world. To put that in other words, the Lord Jesus is the expression of God's relationship and attitude towards this world. The Lord Jesus in His own Person expresses God's thought as to man's relationship and attitude towards Him. Do you want to know what God thinks as to man's relationship with Him, as to man's attitude towards Him? You have to look at the Lord Jesus to see that. This intervention of God in Christ has this two-fold object: on the one hand to reveal God's relationship and attitude towards this world, towards man, and to do so in a Person. And on the other hand, to reveal God's mind as to man's relationship and attitude towards Himself, and to do this likewise in a Person.
