ABSTRACT
Christianity without Jesus Christ ceases to be Christianity, and to be a Christian means to understand Jesus and to be like Him. Since the Great War, the cry within the church is “To return to Jesus,” whereas, outside of it, the Christians are attacked because in their actual living, they seem to have left out Jesus. In one sense, Jesus did not have to be outgrown by posterity, for Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are certainly greater philosophers, and Alexander and Caesar greater military geniuses than He. On the other hand, the author maintains that in the realm of religious and moral life, He is supreme. He is the living embodiment of those eternal life attitudes or principles which enable humans to solve the problems, and which make permanent social progress possible. In Jesus’ life of purity, self-sacrifice, love and faith, people see His uniqueness.
