Every Datum of Reality

Jesus is the reason for creation and therefore interprets the ultimate significance of every datum of reality. In other words, every datum can be related to its reason in Christ. . . . [N]o datum in the universe exists in isolation from Christ and his interpretation of its ultimate meaning.
