FIRST CONTACT - Seeing Jesus through the Eye-Witnesses
About this audiobook
'We beheld his glory.' Meet the men and women who met the Messiah. 'We were eye-witnesses of his majesty,' Peter said. Many in Peter's day were changed forever by that close encounter, some for the good, most for bad. Racists, bigots, terrorists and traitors were transformed by Jesus. But the majority, like Pilate, Judas, the religious elites and feckless crowds, were not.
• What can we learn about Jesus from the people who followed him?
• What can we learn from those who rejected him?
• How can we apply this to ourselves, as we seek to follow Jesus?
• What can we learn about their times and culture?
• How can we use this to diagnose our own culture at a crucial moment in history?
There is plenty here for the head and heart. This book, which is the fruit of 15 years of prayerful study, straddles the devotional and apologetic genres, and aims to lead the thinking disciples deeper with Jesus at a critical moment of the church's history.
