Part Three of discussion of New Testament worship as revealed by Christ to His Apostles, continuing the offering and sacred Meal concepts which He revealed to Old Israel - the offering in the NT is Christ's Humanity, offered voluntarily by the Lord to "undo" the disobedience of Adam and Eve. We offer our own humanity using His as a bridge to be acceptable to our Heavenly Father. We then, as Orthodox ("right-believing") Christians share in HIs Divine Energies flowing through His Human Nature into ours, given to Him by the Holy Theotokos and ever-Virgin Mary. Her human nature is exactly like ours (no "immaculate conception") thereby allowing our salvation to flow from Him to those of us who offer our lives to Him.
