The issue of the divinity/ humanity of Jesus is really interesting to me as currently We are attending
a church that has significant pentecostal expression in relation to Jesus ,he being portrayed as a model for our individual christian witness in the world .I DO NOT think JESUS is a model for us to follow since he is i) divine / second person of the trinity ii) sinless iii) our high priest iv) our King v) our Lord vi) our eschatological prophet .
John, we cannot imitate Jesus absolutely, but we are called to imitate Jesus everywhere in the New Testament. Phil 2.6 calls us to have the same mind as Christ in showing humility. Paul says, "Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ" (1 Cor 11:1). Read Jason Hood's book The Imitation of God!
