Claims, Promises, and Commands of Jesus, the Christ: The Reason for the Hope Within Me (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798901068205)

What is the simplest expression of the gospel? Why did Jesus refer to himself as the Son of Man? What authority did Jesus actually have? Who did Jesus ransom? These questions, and many more, constantly arise when people strive to understand Jesus and the Christian faith. One way to try to answer questions like these is to search through Jesus's teachings and identify his specific claims, his promises to his followers, and his commands to those who responded to his message. This small book has taken the idea of identifying the specific claims, promises, and commands of Jesus and focusing on those that address the foundational points of the Christian faith. Why did Jesus come when he did? What was his primary message to the large crowds that gathered to hear him? Where did he come from? Did he really possess an authority that no human could possess? How could Jesus possibly say he provided the only means of access to God? Why did Jesus say he was here to free an enslaved group of people? What are the promises Jesus made to those who trusted his message? And what response did Jesus require from those who claimed to embrace his lessons? This small book, originally intended as a primer for the author's children and grandchildren, takes the initial steps to look at the key teachings of Jesus that are necessary for an understanding of the gospel message that leads to salvation. This book offers an enjoyable and thought-provoking look at the core claims, promises, and commands of Jesus, the Christ.
