Q What role does Jesus Christ play in New Thought theology?
A
In New Thought, Jesus is viewed as the "Way-Shower" and Master Teacher, rather than a savior who died for human sins. New Thought theology differentiates between Jesus the historical man and the Christ, which they define as the divine spark, higher consciousness, or God-presence available within all human beings. Jesus is revered as the ultimate example of a person who fully realized and lived from this Christ consciousness.
