Jesus

Hi
Sorry that the questions I shared last time were just way to hard to think about (thats why I shared them I needed help!).

Another thing I have been thinking about is Jesus.
If we are saved we are in Christ and are working to become Christlike. Why do we as Christians find it so difficult to identify with Jesus in the stories of the bible. (for example if you lead a meditation on Jesus performing a healing the Christians will on the whole identify with the person needing healing rather than the Jesus. Also does this inability to identify personally with Jesus impact on us and our understanding of mission. Is it due to the Kiwi tendency to not be arrogant?, is it because we focus too much on the divine elements of Jesus, is it because we are encouraged to think of ourselves as sinners who need Jesus?

Well enjoy thinking!
