Teaching pattern

Neville’s christology in one sentence, and the claim on which every other reading of the gospel in the corpus depends: Jesus is not a man who lived but a pattern that unfolds, and the pattern is already in you. So, here, I tell you: Jesus Christ is the Pattern Man. Don’t expect to see him on the outside. He is the pattern, a pattern that is buried in every man, and that pattern contains the plan of redemption (1472). At 1993 the instruction is given outright — do not think of Jesus as a man. Think of Jesus as a pattern — and the pattern is dated: predetermined before that the world was. Three consequences follow and each is stated somewhere in the set. First, exclusivity without a church: there’s no other entry into heaven save the unfolding of that pattern in man (1454), because only Christ resurrects. Second, participation rather than imitation: when you experience it you are not a spectator living as a man being born in this strange, supernatural manner. You are the man — and everything said about him is experienced in the first-person, singular, present tense (1518). Third, singularity: he always calls and sends his pattern, who is Jesus, so in the end there is Jesus only. He is the one man who is housed in every man (2060). The pattern is given scriptural warrant from Paul at 1472 (follow the pattern of the true words that you have heard from me) and identified with Christ in you at 2032, where the whole of sacred history is said to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ, but Jesus Christ in you is the one who does it. BOUNDARY. [in-the-fullness-of-time-it-erupts] holds the EVENT — that the pattern erupts, that the timing is God’s and unpredictable, and the four mighty acts that follow. This motif holds the IDENTIFICATION — that the pattern IS Jesus Christ, which is a claim about who Jesus is rather than about when anything happens. Lectures state one without the other often enough that they separate cleanly; where both are in a passage, attach both. COUNT: the attach lane (507) reports the words pattern man in 126 lecture passages across 63 lectures with no motif holding them, which would make this one of the largest formulas in the catalogue. That number is the lane’s and should be measured, not inherited. PROVENANCE. Coined out of sequence at the request of the attach lane, which found the passages while attaching other motifs and reported that nothing in the catalogue held them. The canonical and the occurrences below were read in full before coining; the rest of the corpus-wide set was supplied by the lane and is attached, not read, so the occurrences here carry confidence 0.95 rather than 0.99.
