I Have Called You Friends New Testament Images That Challenge Us To Live As Christ Followers

Can you picture yourself as a child? A priest? A soldier? A friend of Jesus? Let these pictures from the New Testament help you to follow Jesus more closely. Jesus calls Christians to live His Way of life-to become Christ followers. In the New Testament, the call to live Jesus' Way comes in a variety of forms-such as commands to obey, wisdom to learn, and virtues to cultivate. Another form of the call to live Jesus' Way is images-we could also call them metaphors or models. This book examines several evocative New Testament images that help us find our way as we follow Jesus-disciple, servant, steward, soldier, pilgrim, priest, child, guest, friend. Every Christian wants to develop their ability to follow Jesus. Combining thoughtful studies of the Bible with heartfelt guidance for Christians in today's world, these images from the New Testament illustrate the practical outworking of a walk of faith and inspire us to persevere.Humphreys, Fisher is the author of 'I Have Called You Friends New Testament Images That Challenge Us To Live As Christ Followers', published 2005 under ISBN 9781563099458 and ISBN 1563099454.
