In part two of this mini series on reimagining Jesus (and with a hefty dose of fear and trembling), I attempt an answer to Jesus’ question “Who do you say that I am?”
Thanks, Jen. I appreciated how you articulated the different Jesuses in childhood and then how that has evolved over your life. Such important work to do for oneself and to open up for others.
I particularly loved this sentence: "I don’t mean mystery in an out-of-reach sort of way but in the sense of being inexhaustible." The word inexhaustible to explain how you are understanding "mystery," and especially connected with Jesus, is a gift to me that I'll keep pondering. Thank you! xx
Thank you for sharing your own changing ideas and experiences around the person of Jesus. Of all the parts of faith- the traditions, the church, the bible, etc examining or changing beliefs about Jesus seem the most weighty and scary.

I deeply resonated with this. Thank you for bravely sharing your experiences.
