The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden

Why is it true, if it's true, that Jesus is the decisive re-presentation of God?

It is true, if it's true, because the self-understanding implicitly authorized by the strictly ultimate reality called "God" is the very self-understanding explicitly authorized through Jesus.

In other words, the only necessary -- and therefore sufficient -- condition of Jesus' truly being the decisive re-presentation of God is that the meaning of strictly ultimate reality for us that is always already presented implicitly in our very existence be just the meaning of God for us that is re-presented explicitly through Jesus.
