“The life of Jesus is not just for his own time and for the time that has come after him, but is for men and women of alltime. His redeeming work has been available to every member of the human family from the beginning of the world. This perspective involves what might be called vertical time: the eternal values breaking into horizontal or chronological time. ... Thus, at each moment of our lives the eternal values that have come into the world through Christ are available to everyone as historical time unfolds. Our historical lifetime is given us precisely to grow into vertical time, which scripture calls 'eternal life.'" ... The Word of God was always present beyond time. In the incarnation, he become present in time”
THE HEART OF THE WORLD, Thomas Keating
