We had an excellent, excellent message on Sunday. (Careful clicking that link, as it will download the 8.6 MB sermon. There's a higher quality version, as well as other messages from the series, available here.)
Though I didn't know the term at the time, Christus Exemplar--Christ our Example--was a major theological turning point for me. As I began to understand the full, true, and complete humanity of Christ by reading the gospels, I better began to understand and apply the Gospel itself in my own life. I better understood his love. In return, I was able to begin to love him.
I hope you have the patience to listen to and the willingness to consider what my pastor says in this message. Jesus is a wonderful mystery, and it does no service to him or his people to propound his deity (and he is most certainly Deity) at the expense of his humanity.
