At the heart of the mystery of God's embodiment lies the question of humanity's deification. Creation leads us to ask why God created the material universe and to enquire about its destiny. The incarnation, confirming the goodness of creation, impels us toward related yet more immediately personal questions. Why did God become a human being? What does the resurrection mean? What happens to our bodies when they are joined to Christ?
