Jesus Christ is Perfect Theology
The Bible gives us the history of the human experience with The triumphs, the failures, the redemptions, and ultimately, the enduring love of the Father for His Creation. Nowhere is this love seen more clearly than through the life of Jesus Christ. In this foundational message by the best-selling author of When Heaven Invades Earth, Bill Johnson shares the importance of Jesus in understanding God’s love for humankind. Modern interpretations and theology point to God as being angry, vengeful, and genocidal, attributing to Him some of the very worst aspects of the human condition. The Old Testament is an incomplete picture, as God portrayed through Jesus is a very different God indeed. In Jesus Christ is Perfect Theology, Bill Johnson reveals how Jesus completes the picture of God presented in the Bible, and provides to us the measure by which we should judge all things.

About the author
Bill Johnson
764 books540 followersBill Johnson and his wife Brenda (Beni) Johnson are the Senior Pastors of Bethel Church in Redding, California. Johnson is a fifth generation pastor.
Johnson was born in Minnesota in 1951 and became a Christian as a young child. Soon after, Johnson read seven books on prayer, which significantly affected his perspective and subsequent ministry.
Bill Johnson and his wife have three children: Eric, Brian and Leah.
Johnson speaking at a conference
Bill Johnson and Beni (Brenda) began as singles pastors under his father at Bethel. In 1979, they became senior pastors of Mountain Chapel in Weaverville, California.
While pastoring in Weaverville, Johnson attended a 1987 conference led by John Wimber, founder of the Vineyard Church Movement. According to Johnson "A number of healings and manifestations broke out and I didn't know what to do with it. I didn't object to it, I wasn't opposed to it; I just didn't know how to pastor it in a way that it would continue and increase".
In 1995, Johnson attended the Toronto Blessing revival at the Toronto Airport Vineyard church. Johnson relates: "In Toronto I said, 'Lord, if You touch me again I will never change the subject.' So I went up for prayer every time it was offered. I didn't have anything dramatic happen, but I came home and said, 'I am going to give the rest of my life to this.'"
In February 1996, after 17 years of leading the Weaverville church, the Johnsons were invited to become senior pastors of Bethel. Today Johnson describes Bethel as a church where "everything we do either fuels revival or is fueled by revival." Under his leadership, Bethel left the Assemblies of God in 2006 to become a nondenominational charismatic church.
According to a recent book written by Johnson, "Face to Face with God", Bethel is "a church where supernatural encounters with God happen regularly, miracles are common, and the congregation has an infectious passion for spiritual growth." The church has approximately 1,500 members, and a School of Supernatural Ministry.
Their Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry has 1,200 students enrolled with over 370 from other countries. Johnson leads a network of churches dedicated to global, multi-generational revival, Global Legacy. Johnson has written a number of books and travels extensively as a featured revival conference speaker. Johnson is also involved with the Northern California Revival Fellowship, a group of north Californian pastors committed to revival.

I loved the title of the book, and was looking forward to some practical, robust Christology from a charismatic perspective. Unfortunately, the title doesn't really represent the content. To me it read like a random stream of consciousness hitting on a number of different topics, with a common thread being the miraculous and supernatural. That it wasn't formatted properly to Kindle probably didn't help. There were a few good one-liners, which I'll post here and save you the cost of purchasing the book.
"Many Christians repent enough to be forgiven but not enough to see the Kingdom."
"Without the outpouring of the Spirit, the Church becomes more concerned with being contaminated by evil than we do of contaminating the world with righteousness."
"The Old Testament was to prepare humanity for a Savior—not just to prepare them to receive one, but to prepare them to ask for one."

Really enjoyed this easy read. It is easy because Bill Johnson makes it plain, the Presence of the Lord is the answer for all things in the earth. ",,on earth as it already is in heaven" is realized in Jesus.
",,everyone is pressing in." (Luke 16:16) is telling us everyone has a desire for God in their heart and Jesus is the avenue to satisfying it making all things possible to him who believe.
Having read this book a second time, more revelations of the presence of God released via Jesus. As a man, he demonstrated Heaven released in the earth. The example for us to follow.
I’m sure I’ll be reading this book many more times.

Releasing the Presence
This is a good, short summary of some basic teachings of Bill Johnson--which are the gospel of the Kingdom instead if the gospel of salvation. We are called to release the presence of God, to build up a highway of holiness that Isaiah talks about, praising God and seeing obstacles of unbelief and doubt removed. Expect to have your beliefs challenged as you read through this short book!

I need to represent Him well
The way we understand Him is the way we will present Him. How we see Him defines how we think and how we live.
And believing God is good no matter what i go through.
We need to live from that position of believe that Our Father is for us.
He gave us everything that pertains to life and godliness.
Thank you Pastor Bill Johnson

This book gave life to things on the inside of me that had no words to be expressed, nor ways to be experienced. It brought such light into errors, half-truths and shades, that all that was left after its reading was what could not be removed nor erased, that is, Christ Himself, the One in whom I live and move and have my being

Short but outstanding book on the theology of Jesus. Its a pity the formating of the book was so poor, it really let the content down.
