I don’t recall Christ ever saying “I am the Lord your God, worship me.” What I heard was, “Follow me, be like me, do these things and you will find peace and happiness.” He would not have asked us to do the things that he did if they were impossible, something that only God could do. He said that we could do everything that he did, and then some. I wonder if people look at the Christ and say “Oh, well He was God incarnate, so obviously he was able to help and heal others, care for the poor and the sick, uplift humanity, teach us a better way to live; but me, I am just a human, these things that He did cannot be expected of me.” But they are expected of us, each one of us, not just the saints, the social workers and the clergy, but all of us, if we are to be happy, holy and free, as Christ intended for us to be.
