Finding God Through Christ

So you want to better understand who and what God is?  Simple – look to Jesus the Christ, the physical embodiment of the Supreme Being and Creator of all.

Like it or not, we lowly mortals of animal origin cannot begin to conceive of the vast and limitless being of God.  Because God realized this, he sent his paradise son, Michael (stage name, Jesus of Nazareth) here to Earth (aka Urantia) -- 606th planet in the universe of his creation -- to personalize himself before his mortal creations.

For the past two thousand or so years, followers of Christianity have regarded Jesus as savior, saint, and son of man. The sad part is, Christianity got Jesus all wrong.

 

Most Christian religions have become religions about Jesus, not religions of Jesus’ teachings.  Contrary to what most Christian faiths would have you believe, Jesus did not come here to be worshiped or revered as a God.  Quite the opposite, He eschewed any sort of personal glorification or self-aggrandizement, seeking to humble Himself before His followers rather than allowing His followers to humble themselves before Him.

Jesus came here to reveal the Truth about the Father and who and what we truly are – sons of God, just like Him.  His revelation of Truth was not forceful or confrontational or filled with rules, threats, or slavery to rituals and ceremonies, but instead a gentle, calm, harmonious, and peaceful example of brotherly and fatherly love.  His twofold mission was to reveal God to mankind, and to encourage mankind to seek God.  Very simple. 

To quote the UB, Jesus’ mission was “…the revelation of the eternal God to mortal man, and the presentation of perfected human personality to the satisfaction of the Infinite Creator." 

“And this was his true and supreme purpose. He did not come down to live on Urantia as the perfect and detailed example for any child or adult, any man or woman, in that age or any other.” 

“Jesus did not live his life on earth in order to set an example for all other human beings to copy. He lived this life in the flesh by the same mercy ministry that you all may live your lives on earth; and as he lived his mortal life in his day and as he was, so did he thereby set the example for all of us thus to live our lives in our day and as we are.” 

“Jesus is the new and living way from man to God, from the partial to the perfect, from the earthly to the heavenly, from time to eternity.”
