God within

Maybe Jesus was special only because he KNEW he could access God within.

I say "only," but don't we all search for this?

No?

Of course we do not. Instead we rely on a Savior to rescue us from our own human nature.

How could God despise us, punish us, separate us from divinity because of our humanity?

We are weak and foolish, and we all have the capacity to be very cruel.

Or is it just me?

But this is who we are. These are the limits we face, our own glass ceiling as we gaze heavenward.

But it's awfully convenient to be human, don't you think?

We have no responsibilities to fulfill our own divine nature. Jesus did it for us.

But suppose we all have this capacity to access God within us?

Not because of our own massive human egos. But because if we can somehow get past them, these egos that strangle us in the binds of self-loathing, religious guilt, insecurity and pride, then we can see what has been here all along, throughout time, patiently waiting.

God.
