Introduction:

A. Christ apparently claimed to be God at times, but He did not explicitly assert that His form was Godly. This is because He was supposed to be the image of God.

B. Evidently, even if Christ was not so outspoken, claiming that He was in some way. God, the religious leaders of the day would have still held Jesus up for blasphemy because of actions, such as forgiving sins.

C. Clearly, the religious leaders missed out or simply did not want to accept the possibility of Christ being an image of God. It was due to God’s ability to die for mankind in the form of man (Jesus) that man can be saved from sin. The ability of God to live and die in another form is what made this possible, as God may have no definite form.

D. Christianity today is affected by its doctrine because of the realization that sacrificed Himself or His Son for the sake of man’s sins. Hence, man is supposed to be grateful for this sacrifice and lead a righteous life that Jesus preached.

E. In the light of Christian Doctrine, it must be said that Christians need to lead lives that are humble and peaceful, as Christ preached. In addition to this, Christians must also learn how important the element of sacrifice is.
