My Thoughts on Reading It
When I read the above explanation, I immediately thought of Sri Rama's character.
Jesus's character resembles that of Sri Rama. Rama was an incarnation of God and possessed all those superior powers and virtues of the Almighty. But instead of using those powers, he chose to be humble and humane, weak and feeble.
He endured all sufferings, went to the forest, lived the life of a hermit, lost his wife, sought the help of vanaras to find Sita's whereabouts and to cross the ocean. He could have killed all the demons right then and there, but pretended to be helpless and feeble.
Just like Jesus, Sri Rama also wanted to establish a code of conduct and a path of humility and dedication so that people could learn to navigate the difficult times in life while maintaining morality, compassion, and universal brotherhood.
