Will you remain a bystander?
This book is a passionate call to recover the hidden way of Jesus. In much of contemporary church life, Jesus is no longer presented primarily as the Lord to be followed, but as a means of obtaining comfort, solutions, and personal reassurance. Jesus who consoles, Jesus who solves problems, Jesus who justifies the self has remained; yet Jesus who confronts the human center and demands a change of place has grown dim.
The author argues that the heart of this distortion lies in a corrupted understanding of sin. Sin is not merely a collection of moral failures or outward misdeeds. It is the desire to become like God-a deeply rooted human greed and rebellion that places one's own judgment and one's own benefit at the center.
This book is a sustained effort to restore the kidnapped Jesus to His rightful place.
