Beschreibung

The thoughts about what is in "it" for Jesus came to me when this verse was read during a worship service in my local fellowship.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18).

I found it amazing to think that believers, his holy people are could be his rich and glorious inheritance.

Probably like most other Jesus followers my focus has always been about what is in it for me. But what was in it for Jesus? "It" refers to His incarnation and sacrificial death. "It" refers to all those benefits that I think about. I have some knowledge of what I have gained by becoming a child of God and a Jesus follower. But what has Jesus gained by having me be one of His children. We know He has many children. What has Jesus gained by having many children? Really, what is in it for Him?

In this book, I have explored many illustrations, examples and metaphors that are given in Scripture that give insight into the relationship between the Jesus follower and Jesus. This different perspective of looking at what Jesus had to gain actually magnifies what Jesus followers gain in their relationship with Jesus.

Here are a few examples detailed in the book: Creator-created, Father-child of God, King-subjects, head-body (church), leader-follower, and others.
