Jesus School When I think about Jesus, I often find myself realizing than my attitude to Him is quite contradictory. On the one hand,I definitely believe in Him and I think that he indeed existed and His nature is divine. However, on the other hand, it is difficult for me to perceive him as God, because the concept of Trinity is not comprehensible enough for me, so I can’t consider Jesus the same way as I consider the God. Thus perhaps for me Jesus was a very special ambassador sent by the Lord in order to save mankind.
As far as Jesus is considered to be the Lord’s son, I partially see Him this way and I believe that He is definitely present somewhere in this world in metaphysical sense, as the Lord does, but maybe as someone who helps the Lord, but not the Lord Himself. The problem of understanding Jesus the same way as the God-Father and the Holy Spirit has always been controversial for me, because I couldn’t understand or even imagine how Trinity works and why the Lord has the tripartite nature. However, unlike Jesus, it has always been easier to imagine the God-Father and the Holy Spirit as divine personalities, because Jesus he was a real human being and a human being can’t be God.
That’s why I consider Jesus as the Lord’s assistant and even His son in human disguise, but not the Lord Himself. However, I believe that Jesus is the closest to God person of all people who ever existed and that he is acting in this world together with the Lord.
