Don't forget, the point is Jesus died for you, for all of us, for sins, and endured suffering, injustice, pain, despair and doubt. Only by remembering and embracing this can we understand Jesus' and our place in the world. It is humbling, at least. Just because you realize his 'greatness' does not mean we are 'greatness'.
That is false glory. Jesus was born in a barn, with smelly animals, and straw and sh*t. Nothing wrong or bad about that, and nothing glorifying about that either.Jay
