I am definitely not Jesus. I admit, when I first came to Christ I got really frustrated because "I" wanted to save everyone. I have since learned that "I" have nothing to do with it. All I can do is share and demonstrate His love and leave the rest up to Him. Great stuff bro. Love this. I am definitely not Jesus.

But the father saw Jesus in his son, not in himself. We have the holy spirit but that doesn't make us Jesus. Jesus even came to be a servant. It's when we falsely align ourselves with the Word Made Man that our ego gets out of control, and self becomes confused with Jesus. I'm in agreement with you.

If people rely on their own capacity to elevate themselves to divine status then I would agree with ya. But I look in the gospel and see examples of people who had simply come to the end of themselves...after healing & cleansing them He told them to get up off the ground and go....in peace. Other examples come to mind are the prodigal son who had come to the realization of how low he had fallen, he came home expecting to wallow in front of his Father and take the place of the servant, we know how the Father treated that young man. I think it is important to acknowledge the power of the Holy Spirit at work in His followers. If left to our own capabilities we will always fall short....but relying on His spirit.....what can we not do? Hmmm.
