as far as sacrifice, as i understand it jesus was the 'lamb of god' as he took the sins of the world upon his shoulders, so we wouldn't have to, and died in our place, as 'the wages of sin are death, according to scripture. by doing this he demonstrated pure love for us. how did jesus take the sins of the world upon his shoulders? we still all "sin" and we still are all responsible for our faults for the law of karma is very real. alot of religions say that jesus came here to die for us, take the sins of the world, and save us. what did he save us from? there is nothing to be saved from. in my opinion he showed an example of love which leads to light, but remember all paths lead to light. he was not the only person that came to earth and taught a message of love because gandhi, martin luther king, buddha,mother theresa, and many others did the same. why should he be called the son of god, the lamb of god? they repeat it so much in church that it sticks to the brain like gum. repetition works, but when you think rationally to many of the things that are said in church,by religious leaders,and in the bible you will be able to understand that it does not make any sense at all. i think instead of focusing on the messenger we should focus on the message. that is the important thing. jesus was an instrument of love. he brought a message of love to aid humanity in the expansion of consciousness.i was a hardcore christian and i used to think the same. i escaped those ways of thinking by simply thinking with my own mind and feeling with my own heart. some humans feel they need authority like an alpha dog. religion does more harm than good in my opinion. it enslaves the mind, keeps people in fear, and create separation. take what resonates the rest disregard because you should never take what someone says for granted. peace and love.
