4.1 The Person of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ's authority as a liberator:
-Jesus challenged religious authority:
~Jesus forgave sins, which only God could do
~criticised for eating with the outcasts
~accused of not following Sabbath laws and didn't respect purification laws, but said following laws was not the same as worshipping God properly
Was Jesus only a teacher of wisdom?
-some suggest that his main aim was to purify Judaism rather than start a new religion
-much of Jesus' ministry was made up of him teaching
-when the Gospel is stripped down, we are left with a teacher of wisdom
Was Jesus more than a political liberator?
-Jesus' challenges to the authorities at that time were significant
-Jesus did still advocate Christians being lawful citizens
-Jesus stopped his followers using violence
Was Jesus' relationship with God…
