Jesus With the People

The Gospels present different snapshots of Jesus that in composite give us the full image of what God wants for our lives and what we must do to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

Because we find such a richness in his life, one can seek a greater understanding of him in the many ways he interacted with people. In this book a number of people or groups of people whom Jesus taught and loved were selected, and then contemporary leaders, both men and women, probed the Gospel accounts of these encounters to see what Jesus is teaching us about relationships.

Every interaction of Jesus with people is a powerful insight, a window into the world of Jesus and how we should respond to him. The reader will gain a wealth of knowledge about the nature of God and about the way we need to relate to the people around us. By looking at how Jesus was with people, we will see in memorable ways what our purpose in this life is and how we can fulfill it.
