In this way God's history of communion and communication becomes a history of judgment and suffering, a history filled with the cry for someone who can restore the breakdown of communication, by incarnating both God's address and man's response. In that incarnation of the Word all our possibilities for communication lie. Communication apart from the dynamic Word of God is one long case study in ambiguity. In him God reveals his divinity in complete humanity. It is always communication between human beings, and not just communication or transmission of a message.
Communication is to be involved, it has to do with relationship and communion between people.
But the most important thing is God's yearning to restore the dialogue. To be created in God's image means to be created for dialogue. In this light the Old Testament becomes the story of God's quest to re-establish the conversation, to heal the broken communion. In him the beginning returns to those who have lost it. Christ, the word of creation, returns as the word of re-creation, the word that brings back the lost beginning and restores the broken connection.
