Jesus' purpose on this earth was not only to save mankind from eternal damnation, but to give us an example of how to live. Selfless, kind, righteously angry at times, loving, caring, peaceful, holy, and non-judgmental (some of his best friends had shady pasts). Obviously, we can't raise the dead, or feed 5,000 starting with a decent sized lunch, but we can mimic his ideals and teachings.

Now if we could just find someone who actually follows his teachings THAT would be a miracle!
