Does Unity teach that Jesus was divine, the son of God, the Messiah?
Jesus was a man from Nazareth, the son of Mary, a teacher, a human and historical being. He became keenly aware of his divine nature and his connection to God, and as he shared what he knew, he was called Christ, the anointed one. He taught us that we, too, are children of God, have the Christ within each one of us and could do everything he did, if we only knew how to connect with this power. Unity would agree that Jesus is divine, as we all are. It sees Jesus, not as unattainably higher than we could ever be, but as an elder brother, someone to show us the way, to show us our own potential as humans when we are fully aligned with God. “We all want more life, more happiness, more good,” wrote Charles Fillmore, “and we can have everything we want if we comply with the divine law as Jesus did.
