Participating in the Eternal Embrace
Christians formally believe that “somehow,” Jesus was both human and divine. However, with our largely dualistic thinking we humans were only human, and Jesus, for all practical purposes, was only divine. We missed the major point — which was to put the two together in him and the dare to discover the same in ourselves! We were told to be grateful spectators of what he did, and we often missed the redemptive transformation that was offered to us: “in your minds you must be the same as Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 2:5)
It is formally incorrect to say, “Jesus is God”, as most Christians blibly do. Jesus is the union of “very God” with “very human” . 
For Christians, the Trinity is God, and Jesus came forth to take us back with him into the eternal embrace, which is where we first came from (John 14:3), son that the “outside of God” is fully taken inside. This is exactly what it means to have an eternal soul and is quite a different description of salvation — and, the whole point!
Now there is much less need to “prove” that Jesus is God (which of itself asks nothing of us). Our deep need is to experience the same unitive mystery in ourselves and in all of creation. The good news is that we also are part of the eternal divine dance, but now as the ongoing Body of Christ extended in space and time.
