As a summary of Theology of the Body in our class so far, the blessed Pope John Paul 11 compares the words of Jesus to a triptych. A trioptych is a 3 panel art piece which has a beginning, middle, and end. In the context for TOB, it is meant to show a total vision of man by using the 3 panels. What are the three panels?
1. Christ appeals to the Beginning (our origin); Mt 19: 8 "...from the beginning it was not so"
2. Christ appeals to the Heart (our history): Mt 5:27-28 "..But I say to you that everyone who looks at a womam lustully in the heart has already committed adultery"
3. Christ appeals to the Resurrection (future and destiny). Mk 12:26-27... "He is not God of the dead but of the living.
