Quote
He says we will be better off if we come here to the earth where we will be weak and vulnerable. Christ also represents these lesser gifts. He held no priesthood authority or office in his day, as it was defined. He had no position or office of religious governance of any kind. His Messianic role did not involve ousting the Romans, which is what they were expecting. In fact, the Romans killed Him. Instead He was trying to help people find inner peace that did not involve changing their circumstances. His only influence was through His own wisdom, character, and relationships.
So what might be the best way for an individual today to be like Jesus? Maybe to be a woman in the Church. Now I’m not saying that men also do not gain their greatest victories through sacrifice, through suffering, through submission, and also get ample opportunities to be trained in those important character virtues. But we need not think that we are being left out as women because we learn these things differently.— Wendy Ulrich
