Q78 Why can we grasp Jesus only as a “mystery”

Jesus extends into God; therefore we cannot understand him if we exclude the invisible divine reality. [525-530, 536]

The visible side of Jesus points to the invisible. We see in the life of Jesus numerous realities that are powerfully present but that we can understand only as a mystery. Examples of such mysteries are the divine Sonship, the Incarnation, the Passion and the Resurrection of Christ.
