Again and again he forgave his human partners for breaking it. Finally, he established a new and definitive covenant through the sending of his eternal Son. The establishment of his own reign in the shape of this new covenant is the highest form of divine grace in human history. Its manifestation is his incarnate Son. In Christ, as the representative of the whole of humanity indeed, of the whole creation God has definitively reunited human history and the universe to himself and in the free decision of Christ, the human race has once more surrendered itself to God.
