Summary/Abstract: Jesus Christ is fullness of all Revelation (KO 2). What is the pure fact of His presence inthe world? What are consequences of God’s Son incarnation? Answers for these questionsare already given by Origen in the third century who states that „the more faultless cometo the less faultless to give them some kindness”. Through mystery of Incarnation JesusChrist comes, only by His presence, not to mention His words and deeds, to redeem andsacrifi ce the world and every man. Among these salutary advantages Origen mentionshealing, extrication and sanctifi cation. On the base of his interpretations he builds a theologyof God’s closeness in Jesus Christ and creates redemption categories expressed inscriptural language understandable for all believers.
