While Christians still believe Messiah is the most profound instance of covenanting, making the most intense union of the divine and the human, he says that:

Vhrustians are also convinced that the "Christ event" - the life, death and resurrection of the Jew Jesus - is essenrial to the final establishment of the new creation in all its fullness. The church is bound to give witness to this before the entire world. Moreover, if the Jew Jesus incarnates Israel's covenanting with G-d, embodying what life in covenant was and is all about, then Israel's covenanting life with G-d must be permanent and vital inorder for the church's covenanting with G-d through Christ also to be permanent and vital.
