Beschreibung
Union or Separation?
It is an important question. Many of us, maybe most of us, started with separation from God because the Western Church has preached separation for so long we didn't even realize there was an alternative way of looking at things. But, once you take off the glasses of separation and put on the glasses of Union, Oh My! How everything changes. Dr. C. Baxter Kruger has been making this point for over 30 years. His new book "The Mediation of Jesus Christ" is the result of a life-time of study, preaching, discussion and living life from the vantage point of union. Union of the Father, Son and Spirit, union of Jesus with all humanity, indeed, union with all creation.
We hope this book will help you to see things through a different set of lenses. The lenses through which the early Church Fathers viewed Jesus, His Father and the Spirit. Let the words of the book sink in deeply, but before you begin to read, ask the Spirit to open your eyes and ask the Spirit if this is true.
"In a master stroke of simplicity and profound theological clarity, Baxter Kruger once again paints the cosmic choreography of the eternal gospel in beautiful tones of sheer grace. Far from an abstract legal fiction to appease a distant deity, the advent of the Eternal Son heralds a sweeping of humanity into the Triune love Jesus has forever shared with His Father in the fellowship of Holy Spirit. Dispelling forensic fallacies of a juridical contract God, Baxter explores the mediating covenantal Person and work of Christ as the all-encompassing, unifying agency that shatters all our illusory notions of separation from God. Our fears, our sense of alienation and our performance-oriented religious endeavors give way to unspeakable joy and awestruck wonder in the revelatory light that Jesus Christ, the creator, sustainer and restorer of all things came not to rescue us from His Father, but for His Father. This theanthropic God-Man is Himself our unbreakable union with the Godhead.
