Abstract: The Galilean identity of Jesus has truly reflected the real messiah and his work on earth. In the immediate context of region; Jesus' movement has brought drastic transformation competing with other existing sects. In lesser cooperative atmosphere, Jesus' mission had grown with establishing kingdom of God, confronting political, cultural, religious and social hurdles for proclaiming eternal life with the very nature of God that has manifested. I perceive the practical difficulty of exercising the biblical mandate to fulfil the mission of Christ in India. Abstract concept and the localizing Christology has diverted from the essential biblical understanding of divinity and humanity of Christ. Lack of Christology and indigenous spherical understanding. The Indian theologians have made few attempts to introduce image of Christ. Multi-entitlement to it distracted and low value genuine concept of Christology. Whether to fix incarnation of gods, sacrifice, rooster, elder brother or fulfilment of Vedas and paramadivasi. An appropriate contextual Christology is required for effectual understanding, efficacy of Christ without presupposing and pleasing the natives. Emerging context requires attention in the area of liberation, dalit and Adivasi. In Galilean mission, Jesus is: healer, exorcist, social activist, God's kingdom builder. An attempt has ever been made to expand the mission beyond the border. Jesus stands as replica, incarnate son of God, messiahship and standing for truth was very much relevant. The Vedic sacrifice appeal Christ as ultimate, perfect one unlike other Indian sacrifice and the tribal rooster. Christ in the anthropological perspective seen as brother and paramadivasi. Galilean Christ's role has become an example to follow in the contextual mission in India.
