In my faith tradition, Jesus is not just a great teacher.
Jesus is the embodiment of the pattern of the universe.
He, in his person, his life, his death, his teachings, that we somehow learn something about God, this ultimate reality.
And Jesus' life, again, in our tradition, the milestones are incarnation.
That's Christmas, right, when God takes human form.
Incarnation, by the way, is not just limited to Jesus.
Everybody bears the image of the sacred, right?
Every listener to this podcast bears the image of the sacred, made in the image of God.
The second is crucifixion, right?
That's Good Friday, where Jesus, because he confronts the powerful, is executed on a cross, a humiliating death, along with other criminals.
And then the last step is resurrection.
