 MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

This book is very helpful if you are looking to know more about Jesus Christ our Savior. A great read to flip through during this Christmas season to deepen one's understanding about Jesus Christ. 

Main points include: Birth of Jesus, How the old testament pointed forward to Jesus Coming, How Jewish people were expecting the Messiah to arrive, Jesus was not merely human. He was also fully God. The writer Hebrews declares Jesus to be "the radiance of God's Glory and the exact representation of his being" (Hebrews 1:3). He is the exact representation of God, God is after his own Glory, Jesus, the king of king was bringing God's kingdom to this earth. 1)Jesus taught about the kingdom and 2)he demonstrated the kingdom, Jesus was our substitute. The old testament pointed toward the eventual sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus was sent on a mission to save sinners and restore the world, Jesus accomplished reconciliation at the cross- gospel of Mark writing surrounded Jesus death. Paul in the Corinthian Church summarized the importance of Jesus death, burial and resurrection of Christ, Jesus Provided the way to Righteousness. He lived a perfect life. Galatians 3:27 - those who have been saved now will be clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

I enjoyed reading about Jesus and various scriptures from this book. Thanks to Netgalley and Passion Publishing and Publisher ‏ : ‎ Harper Christian Resources for an advance copy for my honest review. 

BOOK DESCRIPTION

In a world of bad news, the story of Jesus, our Savior, is incredibly good news. The apostle Paul tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s holy standard (see Romans 3:23). The consequences of our sin and rebellion is death (see Romans 6:23). But God, in his great mercy, sent Jesus into the world to pay the penalty for our transgressions. Jesus, who is God-in-the-flesh, was the only sinless person to have ever lived. He was able to do what we could not do and make a way for us to come before God.

In the six lessons of Savior, you will explore how Jesus—being fully human but also fully divine—was able to offer himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. You will learn about Jesus’ mission for humanity, the kingdom of God he ushered in, and how he made a way for all who believe in him to be saved. Savior will help you see that even though God may feel distant at times, he is always working for your good and his glory. God has always been faithful to his people—and he always will be.

Savior is the fourth of six volumes in the Jesus Bible Study Series, following Beginnings, Revolt, and People. Work through all the volumes in any order individually or within a group setting.
