The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man, that there is only one God and God is perfect. That God and man are one.

When I look at Jesus' warm and intimate friendships, my heart fills with praise that Jesus was. . . a man. A man of flesh-and-blood reality. His heart felt the sting of sympathy.

And because he is fully man, we can relate to Jesus with affection and love.
