Jesus above other gods

The person of Jesus and what he came to do on earth has not been rightly understood to some extent in Christian circles and also in circles outside Christendom. Many see him as just a good guy who came to institute a nice religion called Christianity, while others see him as another prophet sent by God to humanity just as other prophets that were sent by God in the times past. In another context he is viewed as the son of God that came to die and display his resurrection power so that people will see the power of his might and follow him. All these schools of thought about Jesus have some elements of truths or half truths in them but they missed the main point somewhere along the line and let me capture them for you. From the first school of thought that believed that Jesus was just a good guy who came to hand us a nice religion called Christianity, I pick the fact that he was actually a good man and not that he came for the purpose of instituting a religion. From the second school of thought which sees him as another prophet sent by God, I pick the fact that he was sent by God and not that he was a prophet. Finally from the third school of thought that perceived him to be the son of God who died to display his resurrection power so that many will see the power of his might and follow him, I pic.k the fact that he is the son of God who died for humanity and not necessarily because he wanted to display the power of his might for people to see and follow him, this is because he did more than that and that is the essence of his love and beauty which has never before been experienced on the surface of the earth and this is one reason why our lord Jesus Christ is distinctively unique and no religious claimant of divine status can be compared to him, none
