We have to get to the core of just who Jesus really was and what his message was really all about if we want to do any justice to his usage in our context. We all, I think, are guilty of misusing him (and the whole Bible for that matter) from time to time. Check out an adult curriculum series called "Saving Jesus" at http://www.livingthequestions.com . They've got some of the best scholars in the world in on this one. I think you right on target here.

I am overwhelmed when I stop to concider that God has risked His name, His honour, His integrity... by allowing my identity to become one with Christ's. What a thing! If only we could get a hold of what that actually means... let alone teach it and model it to our youth.
