What do we really believe about the Jesus we follow? Is the Jesus we claim to know the real Jesus, or a Jesus of our own invention, who doesn’t match up with the biblical and historical realities?

Hombres, una de las mejores cosas posibles que podemos hacer por nuestras esposas e hijos (¡y nosotros mismos!) Es compartir con ellas grandes recursos para ayudarlos a crecer en Cristo.

The following is an excerpt from The Knowing Jesus Study Bible, edited by Edward Hindson and Ed Dobson. I hope this might encourage us to consider where at times we too might be like Peter, who attempted to fit Jesus within “the parameters of his own expectations.” 

Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Pastor Todd Dubord with Mt. Lassen Community Church on the subject of happiness. In this clip, Randy talks about the connection of suffering and being more like Christ.

Randy Alcorn was interviewed by Greg Laurie about his new book Face to Face with Jesus: Seeing Him As He Really Is. In this audio clip, Randy talks about being more like Jesus. 

A resposta é afirmativa, pelo menos em alguma medida:

The miracle of the cross was made possible by the miracle of the incarnation. The angels must have been stunned to see the second member of the triune God become a human being.

By a miracle of grace, Jesus touched me deeply, gave me a new heart, and utterly transformed my life. Forty-nine years later, He’s still unveiling Himself and changing me into His image and likeness. 

O problema de como seria possível nos reconciliar com um Deus que odeia o mal, é o maior problema da história. Antes de podermos ver a Deus no céu, algo necessita mudar radicalmente. Isso exige nada menos do que a melhor solução já concebida.
