New; Jesus Christ, the Perfect Human. In all of history, only one man was truly good: the perfect man in whom no fault was found, who was greater than storytellers can imagine, more sublime than any human before or since. In these pages, the author considers those incidents in the Gospel that illuminate, in particular, the specifically human traits of Jesus- not to demonstrate that Jesus was truly man, but to show what it's possible for each of us to become and indeed, what we are all called to become. By following our Lord's example of patience, humility, veracity, simplicity, tenderness, compassion, strength, vulnerability, joy, sorrow, and prayer fulness, we become more like God.but simultaneously more truly human. Jesus in the model of manhood. Human life as He lived it made the world a better place. With the help of the Lord, you, too can make the world a better place as you grow more like Jesus, and more truly human.

We all know imperfection, only too well. We are conscious of human imperfection, sin, and failure on all sides. We have been trained to suspect hypocrisy under every façade. And yet there was one man who was perfectly good, a perfect man in whom no fault can be found. That man can show us that goodness is not an illusion, that holiness is worth striving for, that our existence has a meaning and a direction.
Jesus Christ was the Perfect Man that philosophers and storytellers have searched for since the dawn of history. He was greater than storytellers have been able to imagine, more sublime than we had a right to hope.
Our Lord was Perfect Man because he was also God. By being divine he was able to show us our human nature as he had desired to create it, with his infinite power. He reveals the nature of man to us, at the same time as he reveals God.
We possess the historical and literary portrait of this Perfect Man in the Gospels, where we see him walking and talking among us, answering questions, healing and consoling the men and women who are drawn to him. The Gospels give us this portrait in order to provide us a model for our own lives, whoever we are and wherever we live.
The Saints demonstrate that it is possible, by grace, to imitate that model and share in his perfection – not by copying his outward appearance, but by living in his spirit.
It is Our Lord's example of love that calls us to become truly human. Love as he taught it was a new thing in the world. Love as he practiced it has made the world another place.
