We lack less a Christ “ology” (the bible is plain enough) as we do a credible living Christ witness. And that blame can be laid squarely on the shoulders of modern Christendom, at least until they choose to lay it on Christ’s shoulders and beseech God to help do something about it.
Are we LIVING like an extremely sacrificially loving Lord is our Lord? Sadly so very often the answer is turning out to be no....

**One cause of our moral weakness today is an inadequate Christology.**
Just as true today. Maybe more so.

Even among those who acknowledge the deity of Christ there is often a failure to recognize His manhood. We are quick to assert that when He walked the earth He was God with men, but we overlook a truth equally as important, that where He sits now on His mediatorial throne He is Man with God. This, right here, is IMO the great "scandal" of Christianity; THIS is the foolishness to gentiles and stumbling block to Jews. Christ crucified was Man crucified and GOD crucified. Man died. God DIED! How can this even be? We accept it by faith. We can read it in the Scriptures, use words to state the facts, but truly comprehending it is beyond human understanding.
