Sartre describes man's dilemma in this way: either God does not exist, and then man is a meaningless being… or God exists, and then man is alienated by His gaze. Sartre then considers Christ as a mean of escape from that very predicament. Although Sartre does not subscribe to the Christian Mystery, he opens for us a philosophical way of considering the central character of Jesus' humanity.
