Good review. Thanks!
Love this...Good stuff Thomas. Good review. Thanks!<br /><br />Love this...<br /><br /><br />It was at this point that Rob Bell brought in the story of Jesus... that his early followers were in the Roman world... the world of “peace through victory”... the world of peace through coercive violence.<br /><br />Jesus demonstrated a new way... a way of peace through sacrificial love instead of through violence and victory.<br /><br />In essence, as Jesus died on the cross, God was present in the most excruciating pain and suffering. God didn't crush people with the sword but was, instead, crushed on the cross.<br /><br />God came into this world and screamed alongside us. This is what the incarnation means. God is present and he knows how we suffer because he, himself, has suffered.<br /><br />He can say “I know how you feel” and does.<br /><br />-- <br />Thanks again for sharing!Jonathan Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060358006682648595noreply@blogger.com
