Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Who is this stranger? Why is he smiling at Cephas? Going over to find out, Cephas is suddenly aware of every historical event from Genesis to the present time. He knows the precise number of all the atoms in the universe. His thoughts are pure, holy, peaceful, perfect. Thereupon he experiences some sort of convulsion, and is face to face with a heavily bearded man in a white woolen robe. Upon being saved two years ago, Cephas has fervidly prayed that he would have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ on earth, before he died. Has his prayer finally been answered? Is this smiling herdsman the risen Messiah? This is what Cephas seeks to discover, and embarks on the greatest adventure of his life, with the most unforgettable man he would ever meet. Set in the fictional town of Kidron, in modern-day America, My Friend Jesus is like no book you will ever read.

Download or read book Can you Handle this Messiah written by Ian Traill and published by Traillblazer Bookshop. This book was released on 2010 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Therefore, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as our substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. It is His life, the ‘Word made flesh’, that we will look at in detail in this book. His personality and ministry as set out in the Gospels. By understanding His personality I hope to develop a revelation in your heart of how Emmanuel, “God with us” can enable you to see how Jesus can identify with your infirmities. By studying His personality and His ministry it is hoped that all readers will develop a fuller understand of His attributes so that all can have a healthy perspective of who He is. The reason I say this is that many artists have tried to capture the personality Jesus Christ on canvas, but sad to say they have never been able to encapsulate every attribute or a true perspective of our great God, Jesus. Jesus is the Living Word and therefore we need only to delve into the written Word of God to get a clear picture of Him. He is found in the Word of God and that will leave a deep impression in your heart.
