Another quote from St. Ireneus, this time breaking down what the incarnation was. Life in Christ is a process of being transformed from glory to glory, according to Paul, but to what end? Ireneus suggests here that the ultimate end is communion with God, as Jesus prayed for us in John 17. God has been on a restoration project from the moment Adam and Eve ate that fruit. The ultimate end of that project is that all His image-bearers would be able to unite in Him, both individually and corporately, that is the image of the marriage feast of the Lamb in Revelation.
