Just finished teaching the Protestant Reformation to my students. There is defintely some Reformed Calvinist in me. We used to sing "Power In The Blood" at mass when I was a Jesuit Novice.

You are absolutely right. Jesus was the most extraordinary figure in human history and a ho-hum response to Him can only be possible when he is not understood. As Tim Keller pointed out in a talk years ago, here was a man who made claims of divinity and then calmly stood and accepted worship (when 1st century Jews would have been among the least likely people of all time to worship a mortal person as divine). Any normal Jewish rabbi at that point would have been tearing his cloak if someone had tried to worship him, but Jesus acted like that was exactly the right thing to do and that all the bystanders were the ones who didn't get it. That's only one of many characteristics that make Jesus of Nazareth so polarizing. To those with eyes to see, it's one of untold things that make him worth of our worship still.
