| Publisher Description: The Gospel is a multi-faceted diamond that reflects the Light of the World. One facet that rivets the attention of Christian believers is Jesus' sacrificial death, through which we are forgiven and redeemed: "Jesus paid it all," we say. However, there is another facet of this diamond, a facet of transformation. We can also say "Jesus took it all." This facet radiates a luminesent clarity that Jesus took upon Himself, onto the cross, our corrupted, counterfeit "human nature." He took all the self-centered, prideful, ugly, rebellious dispositions of our hearts...as well as the wounds, afflictions, and abuses heaped upon us by the self-slants of others. In exchange, He gives us His life, i.e., true human nature. Becoming the Likeness of Jesus is a story about this forgotten facet of transformation, and is a guide for shifting from knowing about the facet into its actualization in daily life. It is "the rest of the story" in which you may find depths of discovery for your own journey towards healing, wholeness, and truth. |
