Was Jesus a Christian?

No, he was not. The word Christian means "little Christ" and Jesus was no such thing. He is Christ!

If he is Christ he can't be "like" Christ or a "little" Christ. I have a dog named Elmo and could say, "That Elmo, he sure is a lot like Elmo," but that would be crazy.

Another way to ask the question is: If God were religious, what religion would he be? This equally absurd question can remind us to not let religion get in the way of God Himself. God desires a relationship with you and me and does the work of making this possible. This relationship a personal one made possible by a person. Jesus is this person, but have you to choose and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. Otherwise, there can be no personal relationship with God, because only Jesus can forgive your sin, restore you into full joy, and make you clean enough to go to Heaven.

And how clean do you have to be? Perfectly clean, as Jesus was perfect. Jesus makes you clean as new snow right when you ask Him to do it and restores you as you follow Him with all you've got.
