Ideas Matter: Considering Jesus Christ

by John D. Gillespie

IDEAS MATTERConsidering Jesus Christ“What you think about when you think about Jesus Christ is the most important thing about you.”Ideas matter. We will never rise above our idea of God. You cannot think wrong and live right. If we are to live well, then we must think well.While we will never plumb the depths of Jesus Christ, we can begin our journey of discovery here and now. There is nothing more important to you, or to our age, than a genuine and growing encounter with the Jesus of the Bible.Jesus Christ will make you and break you, take you apart and put you together, ruin you and fix you. This is what Jesus does, for He aims to make you fit for His service now, and His Glory to come. He is the only hope for the world. He is the Big Issue. Our generation thinks it has finished with Him, but it will find that it has yet to begin with Him.Here are thirty-one letters about Jesus Christ. They are written to make you think about and engage with truth. Take these Letters as from John’s heart to yours. JOHN GILLESPIE pastored churches in the UK and USA for thirty years. He and his wife Tessa now work with Global Training Network, loving, training, and encouraging pastors in the Majority (Third) World. John holds a PhD. in theology from Trinity Seminary, Newburgh, Indiana.
