Question

explain  the significance of the following passage from "Nipple Jesus," :

“Jesus is Jesus, isn’t he? No matter what you make him out of. And maybe that’s one of the things Martha was trying to get at: Christ is where you find him.”

Answer 1

Jesus was made god by human beings who came after him in order to establish a religion which would propagate his greatness. This would mean that Jesus’ was made a person who is out of reach to human beings which made people believe that he could only be found in the churches, portraits and in the Bible. However, Jesus had clearly made his point about the kingdom of god when he mentioned that the kingdom of god is within oneself. Thus, looking for god in specific places would leave one stranded but one can find god wherever one is if one follows the teachings of god or lead a life that is fruitful not only to oneself but to others too. So, Jesus could be found only in oneself and by oneself if one is willing because god is an idea and not a person or object.
