My understanding of Jesus

I feel that recently I have been moving closer to understanding the person of Jesus (based on what is written in the Bible) from a non-dual viewpoint.

I'm starting to see that Jesus would have known that the 'others' he encountered were also Himself (God). The reason he would have only claimed 'I am God' is because that he spoke not just from a separate self but as all of reality, including the 'other' he was speaking to, declaring what it is. And had he said to the 'other' he spoke to that they are also God it would have implied separation between self and other, whereas God is oneness.

When Jesus claimed 'I am God', many thought him mad because their separate self could not see beyond itself. From their perspective, they saw another separate self - the body and person of Jesus, claiming to be the almighty God, who made everything and is truth itself. Of course he seemed totally mad from their point of view. But really, he had shed his entire separate self - and when the finite mind makes way, the infinite is what is left - all of reality - God.

But as always with awakening, words cannot even touch the reality of what it is like to exist in the consciousness that Christ did. I suspect that to him, 'his' body would have been no more 'his' than that of 'others' - all seen as God playing different roles in which He has willingly limited Himself in order to experience reality.
