Summary/Abstract: The deepest meaning of creation is revealed only in a correct understanding of the Incarnation, the crucified sacrifice of Christ, penetrating into the "profound meaning of the Cross" and of the Resurrection as the crowning of His redemptive activity, according to which "the Cross represents a new step in Christ's work of our salvation, the highest culmination of it, having on the one side the Incarnation and on the other side, and closely united with the Cross, the Resurrection from the dead. In this way, the perspective of Orthodox missionary theology witnesses permanently through the Cross of Christ and the result of the Resurrection, thus emphasizing the joy in both aspects due to their permanent connection because in the sacrifice of Christ is seen the perspective of the Resurrection.
