On some level it makes sense to say that Jesus is always the answer....but we have to be practical about the whole thing too! If a person is "the answer", what about that person answers what questions? I think if we say it's just about "Jesus", we oversimplify things by not getting into who Jesus is and what aspects of him are relevant to the question. Catch-all answers are nice, but I think we - as Christians and human beings - are called to think deeper than that.
When I first read your post Danny I thought you were just 'killing' the mood. But before I got unrighteously annoyed I looked deeper to find the reason why your mood is possibly misguided. Hear me out...
Did not Jesus imply that we had to be humbled like children to enter the Kingdom of God because there is no way we could work our way to Heaven, mentally or physically? Did Jesus emphasize education of lengthy theological arguments to His disciples or did He join the Pharisees in academically exploring God's law? Did Jesus not spend His time illustrating in reality or parable 'oversimplified' principles of Jesus-love? Jesus accepts the simple-minded, and often asks those of complex brain to focus in on the Way. We know no depth without Him.
(Notice I commented mainly in question form: I sympathize with your form of thinking, for I often follow it)
Josh, I credit your statement as a sermon: something often hard to accept; but, through it, you can hear the truth.
