Christ is our life

Brilliant new book from Michael Reeves, Christ Our Life. One reviewer: 'This is how to write Christology: biblical, theological, historical, pastoral and spiritual! Theology at its best from one of today's best theologians.' Another: 'Mike Reeves has done it again. This is another rich, deep, simple, joyful, thrilling book: theology that does what theology should, in pointing us to Jesus, marvelli...ng and celebrating.' Yet another: 'Michael Reeves has written a simple and yet elegant introduction to the work of Jesus Christ - stimulating the mind as well as the heart.' Following on from his terrific, The Good God, Mike Reeves demonstrates warmly that Jesus is the centre of our faith, he is the gospel, he is our hope and our life. Just a wonderful read!
 
The old joke that 'Jesus' is the answer to any question the preacher asks has a ring of truth in it. I just wish today's church would preach Jesus in all his fullness for us: our wisdom, our salvation, our hope, our life, our Lord, our freedom, and so much more. He has been made known by God: Christ in you, the hope of glory' (Col 1.27).
