ABSTRACT
One of the most tragic blunders of Christianity has been the placing of such extreme emphasis upon the uniqueness of Jesus that a great difference has been created between him and the rest of mankind. If all human beings are created in the spiritual image of God and if there is only one kind of personality, then the only difference between Jesus and ourselves is one of maturity. Jesus never imposed on men to follow him unless they were willing to bear his cross. He wants them to sit down and count the cost first. Again, fellowship is another source of spiritual power. Man is made for companionship and starves without it. This is the reason why Jesus chose the Twelve and why every great religious leader gathers a group about him. Another condition of spiritual growth is willingness to follow the gleam at any cost.
