Historically, Christ wasn't "there yet." That is, as an historical personality Who people of the time could recognize as such and relate to, in human terms.

Exactly : )

And evidently you, LeGrande, missed my point; for you replied: Exactly : )

My point is: Christ is the Son of God, God's Word, the Logos of the Beginning. As such, He has always been "in the world" — even prior to His Incarnation. He is Alpha and Omega, First to Last. He doesn't suddenly come into existence when people "recognize" Him. He has always been and IS; it's just, historically speaking, humans have been slow to catch on to that fact.

His Incarnation and Resurrection made Him manifest in the world to those with the eyes to see, and the ears to hear.... But the ancient Greeks came before these events, on the historical timeline.... Thus how could they "recognize" Him?
