You are absolutely right. I think many see Jesus (as one person of the Trinity) that way, but the effect is to truncate our human experience. Well done!

My sense of Scripture's take on the atonement and the bigger picture of what God was/is doing in Jesus Christ has never been the same since encountering recapitulation + the second Adam. Well done on linking "why human" up with God's mission to reconcile this rebellious world to himself. Excellent – thank you.
