1. Who, first of all, is Jesus Christ in relation to men?
Correct answer: №3Correct!Educational materials: Christ in Church TraditionComment:If we read the Gospels carefully, we see that the main subject of Christ's preaching is not appeals to charity, to love, or to repentance. The main subject of Christ's preaching is Himself as the Truth and the Source of all good things.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life"(John 14:6). "I am the light of the world"(Jn. 8:12). "I am the bread of life" (Jn. 6:35). "No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me"(Jn. 14:6); "Search the Scriptures: they testify of Me" (Jn.5:39).
While carrying out His earthly ministry, the Son of God revealed Himself as the Great Teacher, the Prophet (Jn.14:6). At the same time, He revealed in Himself, by Himself, by His life the Moral Ideal (Jn.8:12).
However, neither teaching, nor prophetic preaching, nor demonstration of an ideal example of holiness was the end in itself of His ministry. The main purpose of the coming of the Son of God into the world was Redemption, the Salvation of man.
God's teachers, prophets, and morally exalted people were active in the world before Christ, but this did not lead to a mass apostasy from sin and a genuine conversion to God.
