Der moderne Mensch ist notwendigerweise ein Gottsucher, vielleicht ein Christusmensch.

Song lyrics, Let's Dance (1983)
“Man is God's image; but a poor man is
Christ's stamp to boot: both images regard.”
The Temple (1633), The Church Porch
“The law showed what man ought to be. Christ showed what man is, and what God is.”

“The Father willed that these two, the God Christ and the Church, should be one man.”
Source: On the Mystical Body of Christ, p. 414
Context: What is the Church? She is the body of Christ. Join to it the Head, and you have one man: The Head and the body make up one man. Who is the head? He who was born of the Virgin Mary. … And what is His body? It is His Spouse, that is, the Church.... The Father willed that these two, the God Christ and the Church, should be one man. All men are one man in Christ, and the unity of the Christians constitutes but one man. And this man is all men, all men are this man; for all are one, since Christ is one.
“The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!”

Context: The Bible tells me explicitly that Christ was God; and it tells me, as explicitly that Christ was man. It does not go on to state the modus or manner of the union. I stop, therefore, where the Bible stops. I bow before a God-man as my Mediator, but I own as inscrutable the mysteries of His person.
