Are we to apologize for Christ redeeming us to those who may be offended? When Jesus comes into our lives we are made better than we were, but not more valuable.

Just like reading a book or watching a movie- everyone comes away from it with what was important to them making one's point no less important than someone else's. As you noted - the analog may not be perfect but neither are any of us. I enjoyed your perspective however;
