Jesus Refers to God as "My God"

Analysis
Jesus teaches that the Father is his God and your God.
Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
Jesus speaks from his human nature; relational terms reflect his role in salvation history.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
When Jesus says, "my God", it emphasizes his humanity. He is acknowledging that he is a servant of God, just as other prophets in Islam did.
