In many ways Christ is an embarrassment. I was thinking that if he were around in the present pandemic he would have done absolutely nothing about it. Instead of thundering on the earthly scene with challenges for Rome and large-scale improvements in man's way of living, he helped John smith with his sore ear and Mary Jane with her eye trouble. He had a kind of pop festival where he sang to the crowds and gave them free food for listening. Given the chance to show the world his divine passport he said, presumably to a grin from Pilate, "I have some private soldiers waiting in the sky, so watch out."
He's muddle- headed - "I'll die and come back with a knife, sitting on a cloud." What for? Had he said - "maybe in 2000 years time" his listeners would have laughed.
So - what is Christ's great legacy? The stuff we have is the Christmas wrapping paper of the Church - nothing inside it.
Is Christ a small man magnified by the Church?
If he really was divine, why did he not perform on a bigger stage instead of, say, catching lots of fish and saying they came from God?
Should Christ have done more?
