The Mediation of Jesus Christ
Union or Separation?
It is an important question. Many of us, maybe most of us, started with separation from God because the Western Church has preached separation for so long we didn't even realize there was an alternative way of looking at things. But, once you take off the glasses of separation and put on the glasses of Union, Oh My! How everything changes. Dr. C. Baxter Kruger has been making this point for over 30 years. His new book "The Mediation of Jesus Christ" is the result of a life-time of study, preaching, discussion and living life from the vantage point of union. Union of the Father, Son and Spirit, union of Jesus with all humanity, indeed, union with all creation.
We hope this book will help you to see things through a different set of lenses. The lenses through which the early Church Fathers viewed Jesus, His Father and the Spirit. Let the words of the book sink in deeply, but before you begin to read, ask the Spirit to open your eyes and ask the Spirit if this is true.
"In a master stroke of simplicity and profound theological clarity, Baxter Kruger once again paints the cosmic choreography of the eternal gospel in beautiful tones of sheer grace. Far from an abstract legal fiction to appease a distant deity, the advent of the Eternal Son heralds a sweeping of humanity into the Triune love Jesus has forever shared with His Father in the fellowship of Holy Spirit. Dispelling forensic fallacies of a juridical contract God, Baxter explores the mediating covenantal Person and work of Christ as the all-encompassing, unifying agency that shatters all our illusory notions of separation from God. Our fears, our sense of alienation and our performance-oriented religious endeavors give way to unspeakable joy and awestruck wonder in the revelatory light that Jesus Christ, the creator, sustainer and restorer of all things came not to rescue us from His Father, but for His Father. This theanthropic God-Man is Himself our unbreakable union with the Godhead.

Jesus Christ Union With All Humans
The writer gives a good description and study on the union of Jesus in trinity with all humans. His death on the cross which the writer shows was by the hands of humans, was the consummation of the wickedness of man and which the love of God were combined in the union of God and human. It is where the Eros and agape love unified into the marriage union. The cross also made for humans and God never to be separated. A very good study on the salvation of all humans.

Oneness with the Trinity
Mr Kruger is one of my favorites. He shares who we truly are and how God expresses himself in and through us. This book will lead you into a greater revelation of the union of the Trinity and our union with the Trinity. Our God is one and we are all included, yes even those who have not realized their inclusion yet. No separation except in our own faulty thinking.

The Mediation of Jesus Christ is an essay as brief as it is profound. A must-read for any honest Christian who is tired of a religion that discriminates and excludes. We stand 100% united.

For the Christian this deep but short essay ends the battle for fundamentalists and those that hold Penal Substitutionary Atonement is doctrine. They must now surrender and fall upon their savior.
