Amazed

We are made in God's image. God provided rules for healthy living and a sacrificial practice as a means to worship him. Yet we chose to separate from God and go our own way-we couldn't follow God's rules without messing up.

Enter Jesus. He came as a man, in the same image as we are created. He lived a sinless life and is the only effective sacrifice to pay the price that we deserve for our hurtful choices. Richard Bahr's book, Amazed: Why the Humanity of Jesus Matters, helps unpack how Jesus lived out his humanity-and how that humanity helps us connect to him and the Father more effectively.
