No.
The personification of what I would like to be is best represented by Simone Weil.
The personification of what I actually am is best represented by Ayn Rand.

They way I understand your q, my answer is No.
Giving left cheek when somebody hit yr right cheek, is not what mankind should do, and God never let His creatures behave or doing against His plan, (nature). Max mankind can do is just hold our emotion, even that, only as our devotion to our Creator.
Jesus born from virgin Mary, was also unusual .
Out of human nature, which now people can do by cloning I suppose.
I dont believe Jesus is God but through Jesus, God showed us what HE can DO.
If HE Say BE! so it will BE.
So I dont use Christ as a personification of my justification.
Btw ( it's not a propaganda tho) ,
The reason I follow Muhammad teaching, he lived like normal lives, he sufferred like we can suffer, he started his teaching after 40 years old, so a mature age of mankind.
His teaching is in line with human nature.
The miracles happened to him are those that can happened to us as well, those were not something out of blue and un achievable. Those are not easy but still achievable.

If with the help of justification you mean "made us best interior the eyes of God", the Crucifiction became a substitionary atonement and a real atonement. All humanity is unrighteous as a results of debt of sin, yet that debt became paid, to paraphrase the language of the Epistle to the Romans. Justification is conferred in Baptism, subsequently are we born into Christ's death, returned to paraphrase Romans, and into eternal existence with Christ by His Resurrection. subsequently the Resurrection would not accomplish our justification, yet relatively opens the doors of Heaven.

No...what could I justify with the personification of anyone other than myself? Sometimes maybe some of us wish there could be a third party involved, but we are all solely responsible for every aspect of our lives, and who we show ourselves to be.

Yes. Christ, for me, is the personification of all greater goods: love, at-one-ment, sacrifice, etc. Justification, for me, has the connotation of a slave being redeemed from slavery; it is being freed from whatever keeps me in bondage, and freed to truly experience the fullness of life (i.e. "eternal" life - life without ends or boundaries).
Peace to you.

Jesus has been resurrected and is seated on the right hand of the power of God in heaven.
He's not a personification.

No.
He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
He is the Prince of Peace.
He is the Son of God.
He is my Lord and Savior.

No, the Master is here to show us the way, an example of what we can and will become someday.
